As a native speaker of a language which doesn't strictly use tense, I don't see why some languages are so strict about it. It's obvious from the context.

- skrebbel 6y agoCan you elaborate? I can't wrap my mind around the idea of not having tense. Are you saying that "I walk" and "I walked" are the same? How about "I'm walking" vs "I've walked"?
