As a Telugu language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am excited to introduce you to the Telugu tenses. Understanding verb tenses is crucial for effective communication in any language. In this lesson, you will learn about the different Telugu tenses and their usage in sentences.
== Introduction ==
 
Welcome to the "Introduction to Telugu" course! In this lesson, we will dive into the fascinating world of Telugu tenses. Understanding tenses is crucial for mastering any language, and Telugu is no exception. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in Telugu tenses and be able to construct sentences with ease.
 
Tenses allow us to express the time at which an action takes place - whether it is happening in the present, has already happened in the past, or will happen in the future. Telugu has a rich variety of tenses that enable us to convey precise temporal information.
 
Let's begin our exploration of Telugu tenses by looking at the different forms and their usage in sentences. We will provide numerous examples to illustrate each point, making sure you grasp the concepts thoroughly.
 
== Simple Present Tense ==
 
The simple present tense in Telugu is used to describe actions that are happening at the current moment or are habitual.
 
Here are a few examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Telugu !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| నేను వస్తున్నాను || nēnu vastunnānu || I come
|-
| మీరు చదువుతారు || mīru caduvutāru || You study
|-
| అతను పని చేస్తుంది || atanu pani cēstundi || He does the work
|}
 
As you can see, the simple present tense is formed by conjugating the verb according to the subject. The verb remains the same for all subjects, except for the third person singular (he/she/it), where an additional suffix "-తుంది" (-tundi) is added.
 
== Present Continuous Tense ==
 
The present continuous tense in Telugu is used to describe actions that are happening right now or are in progress at the moment of speaking.
 
Here are a few examples:


== What are Telugu Tenses? ==
{| class="wikitable"
Telugu tenses indicate when an action or event took place. Like English, Telugu also has three primary tenses: past, present, and future. Telugu verbs change according to the tense to convey the correct meaning of the sentence.

|-
| నేను చదువుతున్నాను || nēnu caduvutunnānu || I am studying
|-
| మీరు వినుతున్నారు || mīru vinutunnāru || You are listening
|-
| అతను ఉండుతున్నాడు || atanu uṇḍutunnāḍu || He is standing
|}


== Telugu Verb Conjugation ==
The present continuous tense is formed by combining the present tense of the verb "to be" (ఉండుతున్నాడు - uṇḍutunnāḍu) with the present participle of the main verb.
The basic structure of Telugu verbs is similar to that of English verbs. A Telugu verb consists of a root form that is modified by adding prefixes or suffixes to indicate tense, aspect, and mood. The root form of a Telugu verb does not change, except in rare cases.


The present tense of Telugu verbs is formed by adding '-u' or '-utunnanu' to the root form for singular and plural subjects, respectively. The past tense is formed by adding '-di' or '-du' to the root form for singular and plural subjects, respectively. The future tense is formed by adding '-istunnanu' to the root form for both singular and plural subjects.
== Present Perfect Tense ==


== Telugu Tenses ==
The present perfect tense in Telugu is used to describe actions that have just been completed or have an impact on the present.


=== Present Tense ===
