Actually, there are many languages with lots of tenses. Tense is used to show when something occurred-- past, present, future, etc. Some languages are not very concerned about when things happened; perhaps they have a different attitude about the importance of time. But English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Arabic, and many other languages use different tenses so the listener will be very clear about when an action took place.
