This is an action research work which is aimed at investigating the effective use of
tense and aspect in Anyaboni D/A JHS and how problems identified could be

effectively in their oral communication and the written aspect. The population for the
study was thirty five (35) for JHS two students. All the 35 students were selected for
the study. The researcher used the qualitative research design for the study. Research
instruments used for the study were observation, interview, test and questionnaire.
