They also contend that the differences between the tense sequence of the native language and the target language constitute learning difficulties for ESL'S and EFL'S learners .

Section two deals with tense sequence in Arabic . Section three investigate the contrastive analysis of tense sequence of English and Arabic . The paper ends with relevant conclusions . | ||
