The defects in the teaching of the English tenses in Pakistani schools and colleges.

Abstract

English has got the status of the international language; it needs to be taught and learnt for educational and official purposes. Grammar deals with written as well as with spoken English.
Tenses occupy the most prominent position among the grammatical element or categories of the English language. The English tense is the pedagogy of the English language, but unfortunately, a very poor and defective system of teaching tenses has been adopted in Pakistani school and colleges.
Still the old outdated and traditional way of teaching tenses is in vogue, or in other words language particular rules are substituted with language general rules, with the result that majority of students
in these school and colleges cannot express themselves in English.
