A Study on Tenses (Simple Present, PresentContinuous, Simple past and Past Perfect) andits Difficulties Experienced by the L2Learnersof First Year Engineering Students

This study is about the Tenses and its uses for the L2 learners, as tense is the foundation for thesecond language learners from first level to second level in learning and comprehending thegrammar because tense is the base mark for the level one learner to write effectively by avoidingsilly mistakes. For this study the data has been collected from the first year Mechatronics Engineering Students toidentify their knowledge in placing the articles and the difficulties experienced by the L2learners.The total target of the first-year engineering students for this study is 35from first yearMechatronics Engineering
