Abstract
I will start with Priorian tense logic. (For more thorough discussion: see Prior, 1967; van Benthem, 1983; and Burgess, 1984.) Priorian tense logic is based on three assumptions. The first is that tenses (like the past tense) are sentential operators. The second is that tenses are (implicitly) quantifiers over times. The third is that times are instants.
