Abstract
Abstract. This article analyzes how verb tenses are used in different languages.
It uses lots of data from many different language groups to study how verb tenses are
structured and what they mean. By comparing how verb tenses work in different
languages, the article finds both similarities and differences. It examines how past,
present, and future events are talked about in different languages. Also, it looks at how
verb tenses work together with other grammar rules like aspect, mood, and modality.
This helps us understand how languages express time. By bringing together ideas from
different areas of linguistics, like describing languages, studying language types, and
theory, the article helps us understand how languages use verb tenses. It also gives us
useful ideas about how people learn languages and how we understand the meaning of
time in language.
