tense
Tense is the grammatical term that refers to the time when the action of the verb occurs: past, present, future. The time frame of an action is usually established by referring to the present moment; for example, the passé composé and the future are respectively past and future in relation to the present.
However, some tenses establish their time frame by referring to other actions in the past or in the future. For example, the plus-que-parfait tense indicates a past action that occurred prior to the the completion of another past action. The futur antérieur tense indicates a future action that will have occured before another future action. Actions that occur before another action are described as being anterior.
Tenses are also described by their number of parts. For example, a tense with only one verb form is called a simple tense (ie, le passé simple). In contrast, a tense comprising two forms, the auxiliary verb and the participle, is referred to as a compound tense (ie, le passé composé).
