 CHAPTER III
CLOSING
1.1 CONCLUSION
Learning English tenses is an important part of learning grammar because it is closely
related to the use of assistive words, verbs, to be and conditions in conversation practice.
In total there are sixteen tenses in English, although foreign countries are often
mentioned that only twelve English tenses are often used.
There are three basic forms of tenses, namely: present tense, past tense, future tense.
From the development of the three basic forms it produces sixteen tenses,
namely:Present tense, (simple present, present continuous, present perfect, present
perfect continuous).
Past tense, (simple past, past continuous, past future, past perfect, past perfect
continuous, past future perfect, past future continuous, past future perfect continuous).
Future tense, (simple future, future continuous, future perfect, future perfect
continuous).
