| definition: |
When we talk about "tense" in grammar, we are talking about how verbs show time, such as past or present. The difference between "I like it" and "I liked it," for example, is a difference of tense. We say that the form "like" is in the present tense, and the form "liked" is in the past tense.
The sentence "I called yesterday" uses the past tense. |
