The invention relates to the technical field of English teaching tools, and discloses an English tense teaching instrument used for English teaching. The English tense teaching instrument comprises abox, wherein clamping cavities are formed in the left and right sides of the box, image-text frames are adjusted in the two clamping cavities, rotating rods are arranged at the upper and lower sides of one side of each image-text frame in a penetrating manner, a first gear is fixedly connected to one side of each rotating rod, and a rotating shaft is inserted on the other side of each rotating rod. With the technical scheme, the problems that for the English tense teaching instrument in the prior art, the comprehensive understanding capacity for tenses of students can not be cultured, and theteaching instrument is inconvenient to use are solved, through the matched use of sliding chutes, arc-shaped clamping blocks, sliding plates, extruding blocks and extruding telescoping mechanisms, onesides of the inner walls of the sliding chutes are adaptive to the arc-shaped clamping blocks in shape, therefore, the image-text frames can be conveniently placed in the clamping cavities, in addition, by stirring the extruding blocks, the arc-shaped clamping blocks can rapidly separate the lap-connection from the other sides of the image-text frames, thus the image-text frames can be conveniently taken out from the clamping cavities, and therefore, the students can conveniently replace the learning content.
