Generation

**Tense** tells you *when* an action happens (past, present, or future). **Aspect** tells you *how* the action unfolds in time—whether it's completed (perfective: "I ate"), ongoing (progressive: "I was eating"), or habitual (imperfective: "I used to eat"). **Mood** expresses the speaker's attitude toward the action—whether it's a fact (indicative: "She goes"), a command (imperative: "Go!"), or something hypothetical or desired (subjunctive: "If I were rich...").
