Why Tenses Are Important

Almost every sentence that we speak is actually structured using some rules. In order to learn these basic rules, we have to learn tenses. In order to make sentences, write paragraphs, and speak English, we have to express the ideas using the right form of tenses.

During our student life, we have to take plenty of exams. The written part of those exams becomes a lot easier if we learn tenses. After learning tenses, we do not need to cram books. We simply take the concept and write them on paper using that knowledge of tenses.

This is not only limited to our student life. We often need these basic rules to ace the job test.

Strategies For Improving Tenses

We have been learning tenses since our school time but our tenses are still weak. The problem is, we just cram tenses to get good marks. We never use the right strategy to master tenses. Following are some strategies that we need to follow in order to master tenses.

Learn The Rules First

In order to improve your tenses, you must learn the rules first. While learning tenses, these things must be kept in mind.

• Don’t try to learn the rules overnight. Try to break them down into three sections- Present Tenses, Past Tense, And Future Tense
• These three tenses must be broken down into aspects- Indefinite, Continuous, Perfect, And Perfect Continuous. Take them one at a time.
• Take tenses as a game. Try to understand the patterns.
• Tenses also have exceptions. Try to learn those exceptions in order to master tenses.

Practice Tenses By Sentence-Building

While learning tenses, try to put each tense into practice. The best way to practice tenses is to make sentences. For each tense, try to make as many sentences as you can
