Tenses english secara sederhana dapat diartikan sebagai pola kalimat yang berubah menurut waktu merujuk pada masa lalu (Past), masa sekarang (Present) dan masa depan (Future). Dengan memahami tenses bahasa inggris kita bisa menyusun kalimat dengan lebih baik meski tidak harus selalu kita gunakan.
Berikut 16 tenses bahasa inggris yang dapat dipelajari :

1. Present Tenses
- Simple Present tense

   Arti simple yaitu sederhana, sedangkan present adalah sekarang. Jadi bisa dikatakan bahwa Simple Present adalah tenses (pola kalimat) yang digunakan untuk menceritakan waktu sekarang dalam bentuk sederhana. Nama lain daripada Present adalah BENTUK 1.

Jadi kapanpun Anda melihat kata present dalam tenses apapun, bisa dipastikan bahwa dia menggunakan bentuk 1.

contoh-contoh kalimat dengan Simple Present:

   TOBE
    I am a teacher
   You are a teacher
   We are teachers
   They are teachers
   He is a teacher
   She is a teacher
   It is my cat

   Kalimat di atas, semuanya menggunakan predikat bentuk 1.
   Untuk mengubah kalimat kedalam bentuk negative (menyangkal) ataupun interrogative (bertanya) sangatlah   mudah, amati kalimat di bawah ini :
   (+) You are a teacher
   (- ) You are NOT a teacher
   (? ) Are you a teacher?
