Abstract

Everyone who has studied English as a foreign language, and even more so who has chosen the profession of teaching English at school, lyceum, gymnasium or university, knows that the greatest difficulty for speakers of Russian is the tense of the English verb. Indeed, if anyone who speaks Russian as a native knows that the tense of the verb is three, then what kind of bewilderment should the English grammars say that this language is not three or five times, but twelve. However, the presence of twelve tenses of a verb recorded in grammars as a fact very rarely raises a puzzling question: what other tenses are there in English, besides the present, past and future?
