The classification of errors, which was selected according to Lennon's category for descriptions of errors, may provide useful information for those who want to study the errors. Moreover, there have been few studies on English-Persian MT systems such as Pars, Padideh, TAG, PEnT1 and Google Translate. In such studies, translation of verb tense has not been taken into consideration. This study would help MT system’s developers in Iran to improve English-Persian MT systems regarding verb tense. 1.11 Definition of Key Terms
