Aspect is the expression of the temporal structure of an action or state. It refers to
how an event or action is to be viewed with respect to time, rather than to its actual
location in time. It is also known as tenses. However, aspect always includes tense
but tense can occur without aspect.
There are four aspects of verb in English:
Simple Tense
Perfect Tense
Progressive Tense
