Homonym: tense (Anxiety)
Tense is a grammatical concept that indicates the time when an action or event occurs. It helps to clarify whether something happened in the past, is happening in the present, or will happen in the future. The three main tenses are past, present, and future, each of which can be further divided into simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous forms.
Using tense correctly is essential for effective communication. For example, saying "I eat" uses the present tense to describe a current action, while "I ate" uses the past tense to indicate that the action has already occurred. Understanding tense helps convey the timing and context of actions clearly.
