How do the tenses and aspects in English correspond temporally to one another?

English

Elodia [21]3 years ago

Technically there are only two tenses in the English language. The Past tense and the Present tense. The future isn't a tense because it has yet to happen, thus it is time that may never happen and is bound to change. Aspects however can apply to tenses such as the progressive aspect (more commonly known as the continuous) or the perfect aspect. Thus in combination of both tense and aspect, we get an understanding of the temporal occurrences of activities.

I believe the correct sentence should be; “Why do you think the visitors didn’t obey the rules?” Mother asked. A question mark is needed for the question and Mother must be capitalized.

How are participles, gerunds, and appositives different?
kherson [118]

Answer:

A gerund is a form of a verb used as a noun, whereas a participle is a form of verb used as an adjective or as a verb in conjunction with an auxiliary verb. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that modifies a noun. This grammatical construction usually sits next to another noun and modifies it by renaming it or describing it in another way. Appositives are generally offset with commas or dashes.

Examples:

Gerund: Verb: Read; Gerund: Reading; Sentence: Her favorite hobby is reading.

Participle: A participle is an adjective made from a verb. Verb: Sleep; Participle: Sleeping; Phrase: The sleeping dog.

Appositive: Sentence: "The boy raced ahead to the finish line"; Appositive: "The boy, an avid sprinter, raced ahead to the finish line."

For the first two, the difference is really the context of the phrase/sentence. The gerund turns the verb into a noun, turning the <em>action </em>of reading into a <em>thing, </em>or a <em>hobby</em>. A participle phrase takes the <em>action </em>of sleeping and turns it into an adjective, and results in "the sleeping dog."
