Tense consistency and verb forms, sentence 2

Each tense has helpers: "I am running" (am + -ing) is happening right now, "I was running" was going on in the past, and "I have eaten" (have + eaten) is past but still matters now, because you are full.

Who acts: tense, I, you · What happens: have, run, happen, go on, eat, be · To what, where: helpers, past · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Tense consistency and verb forms» of the english course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (tense, I, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
