The word Tense is from the Latin word Tempus, which means time. English marks tense in verbs. The tense of a verb shows the time of an action or event.
Tense শব্দটি ল্যাটিন শব্দ tempus থেকে এসেছে, যার অর্থ সময়। ইংরেজি verb tense চিহ্নিত করে। একটি ক্রিয়া কাল একটি কর্ম বা ঘটনা সময় দেখায়।
English has three tenses:
1. Present বর্তমান
