Description: Verbal tense is the form of a verb that indicates the time in which the action takes place. This grammatical feature is fundamental in sentence construction, as it allows situating events in the past, present, or future. Verbal tenses not only inform about when the action occurs but can also express aspects such as duration, repetition, or completion. In many languages, verbs can be conjugated in various ways, adding complexity to their use. For example, in Spanish, verbs can have simple and compound forms, as well as different moods (indicative, subjunctive, imperative) that affect the interpretation of the action. The correct use of verbal tenses is essential for clarity and precision in communication, as an error in conjugation can completely change the meaning of a sentence. In the field of natural language processing (NLP), recognizing and correctly interpreting verbal tenses is crucial for developing applications that analyze or generate text, such as machine translation systems and virtual assistants.
