What Does Verb Tense Mean?
Verb tense refers to
when the action in a sentence takes place. Whether it happened in the past, is
happening in the present, or will happen in the future. When you speak, avoid shifting
verb tenses. Make sure verb tenses are consistent throughout your conversation
and phonate right.

sentences:
✖ When I went shopping yesterday,
