In this lesson I have given the Introduction to Tenses. I have explained all three Tenses and their parts with examples in Hindi. The present tense is used to refer to something that happens or exists now. The present tense is also called the present simple or simple present. The past tense is used to refer to something that happened or existed in the past. The past tense is also called the past simple or simple past. The future tense refers to something that hasn’t happened at the time of speaking. The future tense makes use of the words will and shall. The continuous aspect indicates an unfinished action or state of being at the time being referred to. It is formed using the relevant tense of the auxiliary verb to be and the present participle of the main verb. The perfect aspect refers to a completed action in the present, past or future. It is formed using the combination of the relevant tense of the auxiliary verb have and the past participle of the main verb. The perfect continuous aspect combines both aspects of continuous and perfect.  It refers to an action that has continued up to the present, up to a time in the past, or up to a time in the future.  The three verb tenses and four verb aspects make possible the twelve combinations of tense and aspect, as follows:    Present Tenses Simple Present Tense Present Continuous Tense Present Perfect Tense Present Perfect Continuous Tense Past Tenses Simple Past Tense Past Continuous Tense Past Perfect Tense Past Perfect Continuous Tense Future Tenses Simple Future Tense Future Continuous Tense Future Perfect Tense Future Perfect Continuous Tense
