Abstract

The present paper presents an alternate method of teaching the tenses of the English verb based on a purely mathematical pattern, which brings about a new perspective upon the logical mechanisms of grammar as well as a high degree of emphasis on the relation between time, aspect, tense, the actual situation described, forms, form deduction, verb phrase and all the related constituents.
