VERBS, TENSES and STRUCTURES

This section covers verbs, tenses and structures.

Verb is any member of a class of words that function as the main elements of predicates, that typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object. (Dictionary.com,https://www.dictionary.com/browse/verb?s=t, accessed 28.12.2019)

Tense is a category of verbal inflection that serves chiefly to specify the time of the action or state expressed by the verb. (Dictionary.com,https://www.dictionary.com/browse/tense?s=ts, accessed 28.12.2019).
