In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns. The main tenses found in many languages include the past, present, and future. Some languages have only two distinct tenses, such as past and nonpast, or future and nonfuture. There are also tenseless languages, like most of the Chinese languages, though they can possess a future and nonfuture system typical of Sino-Tibetan languages. In recent work Maria Bittner and Judith Tonhauser have described the different ways in which tenseless languages nonetheless mark time. On the other hand, some languages make finer tense distinctions, such as remote vs recent past, or near vs remote future. Tenses generally express time relative to the moment of speaking. In some contexts, however, their meaning may be relativized to a point in the past or future which is established in the discourse (the moment being spoken about). This is called relative (as opposed to absolute) tense. Some languages have different verb forms or constructions which manifest relative tense, such as pluperfect ("past-in-the-past") and "future-in-the-past". Expressions of tense are often closely connected with expressions of the category of aspect; sometimes what are traditionally called tenses (in languages such as Latin) may in modern analysis be regarded as combinations of tense with aspect. Verbs are also often conjugated for mood, and since in many cases the three categories are not manifested separately, some languages may be described in terms of a combined tense–aspect–mood (TAM) system.

  1. They're crying in future tenses
    Tearing down the walls and fences
  2. Waiting until I come to my senses
    Better put it all in present tenses
  3. And a cynical thief steals my senses,
    So I cling to the pew with dimensions askew,
    And recognition refuses present tenses
  4. And stuck to all my senses
    Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
    And we'll talk in present tenses
  5. When I get at cha, the situation tenses
    Fatality before you ever reach your senses

  2. Will pay for all the school expenses
    Of any Kurrum Valley scamp
    Who knows no word of moods and tenses,

    Sweetens the stress of suspiring suspicion that sobs in the semblance and sound of a sigh;
    Only this oracle opens Olympian, in mystical moods and triangular tenses--

    and conjugation of historic tenses
