【LIST】Tense

In grammar, 
tense is a category that locates a situation in time, 
to indicate when the situation takes place.  

Tense is the grammaticalisation of time reference, 
often using three basic categories of "before now", 
i.e. the past; "now", 
i.e. the present; and "after now", 
i.e. the future. 

The "unmarked" reference for tense is the temporal distance from the time of utterance, the "here-and-now", this being absolute tense.
