that is learned in lecture this week  This week I learned about tenses. In language, tenses mean time. So, tenses is a form of the verb that indicates the occurrence of an activity / activities undertaken by people, objects, or other objects. As we all know tenses will always exist in every sentence in English. However, these tenses will change according to the time and also the nature of the event. Based on the time of the incident, tenses in English can be divided into four main parts: 1. Present Tense: Current time / current 2. Past Tense: In the past / past 3. Future Tense: The time will come 4. Past Future Tense: The time it will happen in the past / past Meanwhile, judging by the time the nature of the case, then tenses as we know it can be divided into 4 sections as well, consisting of: 1. Simple: Activities that are not currently in the process 2. Continuous: Events still or are in the process 3. Perfect: Activities that has / have been completed 4. Perfect Continuous: Events already started and takes place at a particular time.
