Tenses indicate the time in which an action is taking place. All over the years tenses in Skegletorahh'gallã have been evolving. By the times of Old High Gallifreyan there were around 200 tenses but with the constant modernization of the language those tenses that were rarely used became obsolete. The actual Modern Gallifreyan has only 32 'practical' tenses plus other 10 for discussing Alternate Universes.

==== Imperative Mood ====
==== Imperative Mood ====
In the present or future tense.
Rude or informal form: baehilt after the verb
Polite form: baeh before the verb
Negative form: bareh before the verb


=== Alternate Universes ===
The Imperative can only be used in the present or future tense and consists of 3 forms:
The tenses for Alternate Universes are conformed of the auxiliary, the verb and the suffix 'kalra.
 
Example:
* Rude or informal form: ''baeh'' after the verb → ''kutś voziphu baeh'' (You sit dow now!)
rherjy'kalra iera (will go in an Alternate Universe)
* Polite form: ''baehilt'' before the verb → ''fikre lelaefrl xugallafreiy baehilt fthakūlzś'' (Time Lords, fight for Gallifrey)
* Negative form: ''baregh'' before the verb → ''akrut hifrey'hef baregh braovi'' (No Time Travel inside the Academy)
 
==== Alternate Universes ====
 
The tenses for Alternate Universes are conformed of the auxiliary, the verb and the suffix '' 'kalra'':
* ''rherjy'kalra iera'' (will go in an Alternate Universe)

==== Timelines ====
==== Timelines ====
It's not necessary to specify in which or whose timeline the actions are being performed, nevertheless, if you're engaging conversation with someone not in sync with your time-stream it'd be a big help to add a Timeline Specifier when conjugating a verb. There are 4 timelines in which one can talk so things don't get all wibly-wobley:
It's not necessary to specify in which or whose timeline the actions are being performed, nevertheless, if you're engaging conversation with someone not in sync with your time-stream it'd be a big help to add a Timeline Specifier when conjugating a verb. There are 4 timelines in which one can talk so things don't get all wibly-wobley:
1. Personal Timeline: The Timeline of the speaker not the subject who commits the action. Used generally when the subject is not present. It's represented with the word žan [t͡ʂan] after the verb.


2. Individual Timeline: The Timeline of the subject who commits the action. Used generally when the subject is also the speaker. It's represented with the word žana [t͡ʂɒ.na] before the verb.
# '''Personal Timeline:''' The Timeline of the speaker not the subject who commits the action. Used generally when the subject is not present. It's represented with the word ''źan'' [ʒan] after the verb.
# '''Individual Timeline:''' The Timeline of the subject who commits the action. Used generally when the subject is also the speaker. It's represented with the word ''źana'' [ʒana] before the verb.
# '''Main Timeline:''' The Timeline of the subject who commits the action. Used when the subject isn't the same as the speaker. It's represented with the word ''źani'' [ʒani] after the verb.
# '''Universal Timeline:''' The Timeline of the Universe, the one that never changes. It's represented with the word ''źante'' [ʒante] at the beginning of the sentence.
# '''Gallifreyan Timeline:''' Gallifrey is located in a Micro-Universe outside of Time, thus when you are on Gallifrey you are in Inner Time, “outside” of the Universe. This keeps Gallifreyan history and continuity separated from the rest of the Universe. This Timeline Specifier is used with the Personal, Individual and Main Timelines. It's represented with the word ''źańe'' [ʒaɳe] at the other side of the verb in relation of the second timeline specifier.
 
==== Fixed Points in Time ====


3. Main Timeline: The Timeline of the subject who commits the action. Used when the subject isn't the same as the speaker. It's represented with the word žani [t͡ʂa.ni] after the verb.
Time Lords can see what is, what could be, what used to be, what must never happen and what must never change (fixed points in time). To talk about the former three we use the Possible Future, Forgettable Past and the Inconceivable tenses respectively. But when it comes to fixed points in time, simply add the word ''baghk'' [ʙaɠək] after the conjugated verb. Some count this as the 33rd verb tense of the Gallifreyan language.


4. Universal Timeline: The Timeline of the Universe, the one that never changes. It's represented with the word žante [t͡ʂan.te] at the beginning of the sentence.
==== Aspect ====


5. Gallifreyan Timeline: Gallifrey is located in a Micro-Universe outside of Time, thus when you are on Gallifrey you are in Inner Time, “outside” of the Universe. This keeps Gallifreyan history and continuity separated from the rest of the Universe. This Timeline Specifier is used with the Personal, Individual and Main Timelines. It's represented with the word žaNGe [t͡ʂa.ɳe] at the other side of the verb in relation of the second timeline specifier.  
Aspect in Gallifreyan denotes frequency, intentionality, cause and intention. There are 9 general aspect forms, some with their own subdivisions. The use of some of these aspects is generally optional as their use is not truly necessary, making it up to the speaker to decide how much information they intend to give. Note: some forms of aspect are already mixed with the normal tenses and the use of any of the following prepositions doesn't invalidate them.
