The accurate interpretation of English verb tenses depends not only on grammatical form but also on the context in which these structures occur. This article explores the linguistic, situational, and cultural contexts that influence tense interpretation, drawing on the works of renowned grammarians such as Quirk, Leech, Celce-Murcia, and Halliday. The study also highlights pedagogical implications for EFL learners and provides contextualized examples to illustrate how tense and aspect function dynamically in real communication.
