The past tense indicates an action that has already happened. Example: "I slept all night long."

The present tense indicates an action that is currently happening or a general truth. Example: "She enjoys that show."

The structure of a verb in the past tense typically involves adding '-ed' to regular verbs. Example: 'play' becomes 'played'. Irregular verbs have unique past forms.

Auxiliary verbs (helping verbs) are used with main verbs to form different tenses, moods, and voices. Example: 'is' in 'is running' (present continuous).
