English - What does mean-Verb patterns

2007-12-23 7:48 pm
Dear English writers,

My lecturer always mentions that we have errors in Verb Patterns, what does it mean by 'Verb Pattern'. And what is the difference between 'Verb Pattern' and 'tenses' as my tutor always mention them separately.

I am confusing at this part.

Thanks for your help.
