Absolutely! Urdu, just like English, uses tenses to convey when an action is happening. There are three primary tenses in Urdu: past (ماضی/maazi), present (Øال/hal) and future (مستقبل/mustaqbil). These tenses can then be subdivided into more specific tenses. For example, in the past tense we have simple past, past indefinite, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous. Same goes for present and future tenses. 😊 Each tense has particular verb form rules and endings. Additionally, the arrangement of words in a sentence can change depending on the tense. That's why it’s important to have a strong grasp on Urdu grammar when learning these tenses. Making sure one uses the correct tense form is key in ensuring that the language's rich meaning isn't lost. 📚
