In this paper, I will give an overview as to what recency connotes in English tensed sentences, where and when it occurs and how it is procured. Lastly I will
evaluate the poll that I created regarding the matter of recency and list the insights that it lead to, focussing on the problem that recency faces, without specific markers, to find out whether simple past and past progressive, as well as simple present and present perfective, can be replaced by one another.
