∙ 9y agoThe difference between verb form and verb tense is categorical: "verb form" refers to the actual letters of the verb being used, while "verb tense" refers to the time expressed by the verb being used. Thus, in the sentence, "He played the guitar", the verb tense is "past", while the letters utilized to indicate the past (namely, "ed") make up the verb form -- and quite appropriately, in this case.
