| Introduction | Our English teachers used to put too much emphasis on the 12 tenses in English, and now I am a teacher of English, my emphasis is more on learning the correct forms of verbs to make my students speak and write correct English. It means the tenses and correct forms of verbs are the same, but in the modern way of teaching, the emphasis is more on learning the correct forms of verbs. Thus, the 12 tenses in English, or correct forms of the verbs in English, that help you to speak and write flawless English, are not two different entities, but they are the two faces of the same coin. |
