Why Tenses Matter in Grammar?

Tenses bring life and clarity to writing by placing actions in time. For Class 7 students, tense mastery is essential because:
1. It sharpens sentence construction and time awareness in communication.
2. It supports clear storytelling, academic writing, and dialogue use.
3. It eliminates common grammatical errors and confusion across timelines.
4. It boosts confidence in narration, explanation, and exam readiness.
