Tense Chart / Tense Table


Hello Guys Welcome to "E HuQ" & This is your English Guru "Mr. KD" 


And today i will tell you about, 
learning Tense Step by Step ,
and this will only be possible with the help of a 
"Simplest, Easiest & Comprehensive "

Tense Chart / Tense Table

Actually i will discuss with you that what are the steps that we have to take to get over

Tenses"


Now Tense Chart that is Shown below is made by me.

Now this is what that what I understand, when I hear the word Tenses (or Tense Chart).

What I have observed in my learning & experience with English Language as a Student then after as a Teacher,
As we all know that the "Tense Chart" comprises three major heads,

So when we talk about Tenses, there are, Three 

"Major Heads of Tense",

  • Present Tense
  • Past Tense
  • Future Tense



Then, Four


"Minor Heads of Tense",


And Each Minor Head Comprises

"Sub Heads of Tense"

  • Affirmative
  • Interrogative
  • Negative
  • Interrogative Negative

Thus by arranging them in an Order we will have our


"Tense Chart / Tense Table"

Formation of Tense Chart/Tense Table


Now the above shown Image is not the only Tense Chart, it has to pass some steps to get this Small, Comprehensive, & Meaningful Look

 The Process Is as Follows:-

 The Pic Shown below is the Initial Point ....

 Just by arranging our Minor Heads Below to the Major Heads , we will find that :-

Tense Chart 1

Now this Tense Chart is very big, vast & ugly, let's do compress this, because we can't learn anything form this much big one,

As you can see here, in each 3 Major Heads all 4 Minor Heads are common,
So extracting all Four Minor Heads as commons from each of the Three Major Heads,
We Get :-

Tense Chart 2


At the end,  we finally get our 

"Tense Chart / Tense Table"

Final Tense Chart / Table


  • Past Tense
  • Present Tense
  • Future Tense

And each of the three Comprises "Minor Head" namely, 

  • Indefinite Tense
  • Continuous Tense
  • Perfect Tense
  • Perfect Continuous Tense

These are the Minor Head of the Major Head "Tense"
all of these four types of Tenses are present in each major head,

And each "Minor Head" Contains Sub Heads (Types of Sentences) namely,

  • Affirmative
  • Interrogative
  • Negative
  • Interrogative Negative

Hence, the total number of
Sentences to Learn comes to 3 X 4 X 4 = 48
But Trust me guys, this task is not that hard as is looks because of 48 sentences,
Yes i too believe that it takes time to learn well, but not that much strict efforts are required , as compared to it's length,
because the Understand ability of all of them is linked / affiliated or based to each other, 

and just by Interchanging their "Helping Verbs & Form of Verbs (i.e 1st , 2nd or 3rd)". 
we can switch over from one "Tense" to Another.  

Tense Chart Significance :-

Strategy - {Learn Tense Steps by Step }

I will Emphasize on construction of sentences in their respective Posts,

1. First Start with Past Tense


I always Prefer to begin the journey of learning Tenses with "Past Tense".
Because Past Tense contains a very huge part of the Tense Series.
And Also if this part of the Tense is Covered, then other Tenses learning will be so easier,
because when you will understand using  
  • 'Was & Were'
  • 'Had'
  • Difference of  "Was/Were" vs. "Had"
  • Usage of 1st form + ing, 2nd & 3rd Forms of Verb
  • Implication of "Used to"
  • Etc.
So when you will get understood all these constraints,
Then "Present & Future Tenses" will be Easier to Learn,

Cos  

a.   'Was / Were'  is interchanged
       In Present Tense by 'Is'  
      & in Future Tense, by 'Will / Shall'

b.   'Had' is interchanged
       In Present Tense by 'Has'
       & in Future Tense by 'Will Have'

& Many Other points are that similar , hence only by interchanging  them we can move from Past to Present & then Present to Future.

2. In Past Tense do Start with Indefinite,
      

Indefinite Sentences are made up using 2nd form of Verb.
They are Called INDEFINITE because,
the exact time which for the statement is produced is not depicted,
for example, 
  • I Tought,
  • You Learned,
  • India won the Cricket Match,

 here in all of those examples we can see, that only it is shown that the, act took place,
but it's exact time is not Mentioned, when 
I Used to Teach?,  like, in what - age, status, 2006 or 2018 or 19, or whatever.

3. And in Indefinite do

  Proceed with  Affirmative Sentences,
In Affirmative Tense their is an effort to which is in the form of telling some one about some thing, it looks like that Someone is answering to another,
Examples of Affirmative sentences are,
  • He went to School/Office.
  • The Car ran fast.
  • I took my dinner at 9'O clock.
  • Mom cooked food for me.
  • India won the match when played against Pakistan.
**the rest, Interrogative & Interrogative Negative, will be explained in their Respective Posts.

4. Keep practicing this & make more and 
     more Sentences,
    When you get mastery in making 
  • Affirmatives,
    Now you will be that eligible to move to
  • Interrogative Sentence formation, 
                                            then
  • Negative 
                                        and then
  • Interrogative Negative.



    The Indefinite Part is Completed.



5. Now Strive for Continuous, & then Perfect 
     & finally reach to
    Perfect Continuous, with the same steps, 
   that we followed to learn the above Indefinite 
   Part(i.e Step 2 to 4).
  
By following These Steps You'll Get to Know that how this Sentence Formation is done in English Language.

When You'll Complete all Past Tenses, 
(i.e Indefinite to Perfect Continuous),
then by applying only 25% of the effort you put to learn Past Tense, you will be understanding the Present Tense as well as Future Tenses.
