The word 'tense' comes from the Latin word 'tempus' which means time. Even so tense and time are very different. As explained by grammar experts, Mr. As Hornby, the words TIME and TENSE are very different. The word TIME refers to the division of time which consists of three parts, namely lamapu time (past), present time (present) and time ahead (future). Whereas TENSES refers to verb forms that change because of the influence of the past, present and future. Not only influenced by past, present and future, the change of verbs in tenses also indicates whether an event has been, has been or will be finished or the event is taking place at a certain time.
