English ppt on tenses
 An action expressed in the verb can take
 place in three different times-
 past, present, future-and ‘in each time’ it
 (the action) can be of three different types-
 simple, continuous, perfect. Three times
 with their types are called tenses.
Past               Present           Future
 Simple        I played           I play            I shall play
 Continuous    I was playing      I am playing      I shall be
                                                    playing
 Perfect       I had played for   I have played.    I shall have
               two hours by       He has played     played if you
               that time. I had   for ten hours.*   reach late.***
               been playing for   I have been
               two hours when     playing for ten
               ravi came          hours.**


* We use this form for the present perfect tense for
laying stress on the time or duration of the action.
 ** We use this form for the present perfect
  tense for laying stress on the continuity of
  the action. This tense is called the present
  perfect continuous tense also.
 *** ‘If you reach late’. We do not use the
  future perfect tense for the dependent
  clauses of time or condition.
 ‘TIME’ AND   ‘TYPE’ OF AN ACTION=TENSE
 Simple:    simple type is expressed directly.
                    Example of simple type
              •I passed my B.A. examination
                in 1995.
              •Raja will play hockey.


 Continuous: Continuous type is that which
 is incomplete.     Examples of Continuous type
                             •Radha was cooking food.
                             •Ravi is reading.


 Perfect:
        Perfect type isExampleswhich is
                         that of Perfect type

                                •Ravi has written for two
                                hours.
 ‘Do’ is brought from     I play hockey
  outside for making        Do you play hockey?
  questions & negative      Ravi does not play
  sentences of positive      hockey.
  assertive sentences in
  the simple present
  and the simplest past
  tenses                   I  do see.
 The auxiliary ‘do’        I did see.
  makes special
  emphatic tenses in
  the simple present
  and the past
 There  is one more tense. It is called ‘the
  Future in the past tense’. This tense marks
  an action as future from a past point of
  view. It is used.
1. In simple sentences and in the main
                           When summer came, they

                                         army from Delhi to Shimla.
