Tense is a grammatical category that manifests the time at which a situation holds. This is done by relating the time meant to some reference point, which is by default the time of the speech act. Therefore, tense is a deictic category.
The most important temporal relations between the two time-points are simultaneity, anteriority and posteriority. They found the tenses present, past and future.
Tense is frequently marked on the verb or the auxiliary. Nominal tense is quite rare.

Sg
The singular is a number selecting one element of the designated class. Since it is unmarked as against all other numbers, it may also be used when the cardinality of the referent set is left open or specified elsewhere in the context (e.g. by a numeral). It may also be used for generics and unbounded masses.

Inf
An infinitive is a verb form whose subject slot is blocked so that it does not function as the main verb of an independent clause. However, it does designate a situation core, so it may function as the head of a (nonfinite) dependent clause. Morphologically, it is a non-finite form which is crucially not specified for person, number and mood. Other categories which may or may not be absent include tense, aspect and voice.
