o Past tense: They played football yesterday.
o Past participle: I have eaten a burger.

What is preposition
A preposition is a word that indicates the relationship between a noun and the other words of a
sentence.
Example:
o I am going to Canada.
Tenses demonstrate the time of action in sentences usually performed by or centered around the
subject of the sentence. The actions are called verbs. Verbs change according to tenses and other
issues.
The present indefinite tense, also known as simple present tense, denotes a stative or habitual or
eternally true action.

Past Indefinite Tense

The past indefinite tense, also known as simple past tense, is used to indicate a finished or
completed action/task that occurred/happened at a specific point in time in the past. ‘A specific
time’ can be diverse and can cover a long period of time but it cannot be undeterminable.
Example:
o Alex went to Mexico last year.

Past Progressive (Continuous) Tense

The past progressive tense is used to demonstrate an action that was happening in the past for a
period of time in a particular context. The context can be a specific time or another action.
Past Perfect Tense
The past perfect is used to demonstrate an action that occurred before another action in the past.
There are usually two completed actions in the sentence; one happens before the other.

Past Perfect Progressive Tense

The past perfect progressive tense is an extension to the past perfect tense and its structures. Past
perfect progressive is used to demonstrate an action which continued for a specific period of time but
stopped before another action.

PHRASE DEFINATION TYPES

A phrase, therefore, is a group of words which has no finite verb in it and acts to complete the
sentence for making it meaningful.
“A phrase is a small group of words that form a meaningful unit within a clause.” -Oxford
Dictionary
