PrintWHAT ARE VERB TENSES FOR
Verb tenses help us to express ideas clearly. They help those listening around you or reading your e-mails know where in time the situations you're talking about happened. They could even help you express how you feel about a certain event in your life.
Example
I've been married for 40 years.
I loved him/her the first 15 years.
Yesterday, when I came back home she had gone.
If you use your tenses incorrectly you might be getting the wrong idea across.
Finally, knowing your tenses allows you to freely express yourself and describe the ideas in your mind exactly as you want to.
It's not as hard as it seems, if you follow and learn the rules. You'll catch up as you go.
