A tense is a grammatical category that expresses the time of action or state of being. English has three main tenses:
- Present Tense (action happening now or regularly)
- Past Tense (action that happened in the past)
- Future Tense (action that will happen in the future)
Each of these main tenses has multiple variations, and it’s important to know how to use them correctly in different contexts.

The coaching we take from him not only provides us with the tips to crack the exam but also motivates and makes us confident for facing the exam boldly. His teaching skills are simply superb. Really one of the best institutes for PTE coaching in hyderabad. Last but not least, no one will regret for having joined in this institute for coaching.
