To define when an action takes place, a verb is written in a “tense” form. These tenses include the following: PRESENT TENSE: A verb that shows an action that is taking place at that very moment (in the present) is a present tense verb.
PAST TENSE: A verb that shows that an action took place in the past is a past tense verb.
PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSE: A verb that shows an action that started in the past but was completed is known as a past perfect continuous tense. It is a verb that is preceded by the words “had been.”
