Bernard Comrie defines tense as the grammaticalisation of location in time. In this textbook he introduces readers to the range of variation found in tense systems across the languages of the world. This coherent and elegant account of this complex grammatical category will provide a solid basis for further research on tense, even in a language as thoroughly studied as English.
