| | Greek Tenses |
 | | With reference to aspect, the present tense is internal (that is, it portrays the action from the inside of the event, without special regard for beginning or end), but it makes no comment as to fulfillment (or completion). | | | The present tense may be used fairly frequently in narrative literature to portray a past event vividly, as though the reader were in the midst of the scene as it unfolds. | | | The present tense may be used to describe an action that, begun in the past, continues in the present. |

| | Tense & Time |
| | Will take is often thought of as "future tense" but this use of the auxiliary is only one way of expressing future time, and in any case the auxiliary verb will is present tense. | | | The choice of tense depends on how the writer views the event: as basically in the present world, or as basically in an earlier world. | | | It counts as a basic present tense, not a past tense, although it describes an event in the past. |

| | This form is prevalent in English to express current action, but is absent or rarer in other Indo-European languages, which prefer the simple present tense. | | | Not-yet tense: has not happened in present or past (nonfuture), but often with the implication that it is expected to happen in the future. | | | Many languages define tense not just in terms of past/future/present, but also in terms of how far into the past or future they are. |

| | Future - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When the English future tense is mentioned, usually it refers to present-tense (or rather, "non-past"-tense) constructions using the modal verb will or shall used to discuss the future: In the future, everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes. | | | Figures claiming to see into the future, such as prophets and diviners, have enjoyed great consideration and even social importance in many past and present communities. | | | In grammar, the future is a tense or a mood used to refer to events that have yet to happen. |

| | Future |
| | The future tense in french (le futur simple), is roughly transalated as "will+ infinitive." It is very similar to "le futur proche," but it implies a future, possibly not-definite action in the future, while "le futur proche" implies a action to occur in the near future. | | | The future form of an -re verb is formed by taking the infinitive form, subtracting the E from end, and adding the future endings. | | | The future form of an -er verb is formed by taking the infinitive form, and adding the future endings. |

| | Notes |
| | In narrative accounts of past events it is clear that the aorist and imperfect are the dominant tenses, with the pluperfect occasionally used parallel to the imperfect, while the present and perfect are only used for special effect" ("Time and Aspect in New Testament Greek," NovT 34 [1992]: 226). | | | The reason for this is straightforward: the term "tense" brings with it notions of time, so to continue to use this locution when referring to what verbal forms outside the indicative mood convey runs the risk of injecting factors relative to time into the discussion" ("Verbal Aspect," 3). | | | This choice describes a "conceptual reality" in that "the situations expressed are projected situations, i.e., still real- or possible-world situations but real-or possible-world situations as conceived by the locutionary agent and his addressees" (Bache, Aspect, Tense and Action, 55). |
