             There are three types of tenses. They are:

               Present Tense                    Past Tense                   Future Tense


             G     Present  Tense  expresses  actions  in  the  present  time.  It  tells  what  is  being  done
                   currently.
                   Read the following examples:

                         1.  I am    happy.                            2.  We are     late.

             G     Past Tense expresses actions in the past time. It tells what was done some time back.
                   Read the following examples:

                         1.  I was   happy.                            2.  We were      late.
