Battles waged over ethnic origin or national identity may be linked to the constitution of radically new kinds of memory archives (Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger, The Invention of Tradition [Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1983]). The creation of nations, ethnicities, and subjects inevitably alters the shape of the past. Memory, as Huyssen's work shows, is therefore not a generic term of analysis, but itself an object appropriated, transformed, and politicized. Or, put differently, memory can be nationalized, medicalized, aestheticized, gendered, or bought and sold. With each of these tenses, there are four aspects associated with it. An aspect here refers to the nature of action performed by the verb. We will also learn about them in an introduction to tenses. Future progressive tense: Identifies something that will happen in the future and continue for a length of time The construction of the perfect continuous tense uses a conjugation of the auxiliary verb have , the auxiliary verb been (the past participle of be ), and the present participle of the main verb.

Future Perfect Continuous Tense: This tense is used to describe an action that is continuing into the future and will be completed at a specified time in the future. This tense is written using the future perfect tense of the verb with the present participle. Example: I shall have been living in Mumbai for five years by May 2019. Please note that you usually do not use the continuous tense with stative verbs like want , love , have , and need. It is possible to use the present simple to speak about general truths, which can include making statements about people who have passed away. In such cases, we're often making statements about their legacies or contributions more than we are about them as people with ordinary lives that they are living at the moment.

For example; my parents were not so passionate with me, i always thought they would have prefered to have a girl rather than a boy. Note the word 'expanded' -- here the expansion clearly began in the past, but, as far as I understand it, the universe is still expanding and is expected to continue to do so for quite some time. Here this past simple form clearly refers to an event that is not finished. For example, in the sentence I have played soccer since I was a child , the perfect tense indicates that the action occurred continuously in the past and still happens in the present. By contrast, in the sentence I played soccer when I was a child , the simple past tense indicates that the action occurred only in the past, and has no relation to the present. Verb tenses show when an action took place, as well as how long it occurred. The main verb tenses are the past, present, and future.

For regular verbs, you form the simple past tense by adding the suffix – ed to the end of the verb (or just – d if the past tense verb already ends in an e ).

The standard tense in English is the present tense, which is usually just the root form of the verb. The past and future tenses often require changes or additions to the root form, such as the suffix – ed for the past tense and the modal verb will for the future.This tense is used to refer or indicate to something that occurs in the present. The simple present or indefinite present tense is used to describe an action, event, or condition that is occurring in the present while being spoken about or written. Example: The dogs’ bark.
