Tense is typically a feature of verbs or auxiliaries.
Tense is a feature that specifies the time when the action took / takes / will take place, in relation to a reference point. The reference is often the moment of producing the sentence, but it can be also another event in the context.
Fut: future tense
The future tense denotes actions that will happen after a reference point; in the prototypical case, the reference point is the moment of producing the sentence.
