This research paper attempts to explore certain deviations in the usage of English tenses by some Telugu people who require perfection at grammatical level of wording. By explaining the nature of deviant tense forms which can be treated as errors in teaching and learning pedagogical setting, this paper aims to identify the problematic typical erroneous patterns in their English grammar. Identification of underlying influences and pattern-wise understanding of the consequent deviant forms are very important to design remedial workbooks for specific needs of teaching and learning. Hence some frequent erroneous English tense patterns used by Telugu learners are briefed in this study. This study is assumed to be useful to many people with Telugu background to rectify their usage of ungrammatical English.
