Complete the statement
The tense fixes the {0} of the action. The exact form still depends on the {1} and number of the subject, which is why 'he are' is wrong even though its tense is {2}.

Explanation

Tense sets the time; person and number set the exact form. Source: An English Grammar, Baskervill and Sewell (1896), public domain.
