Natural language tenses are generally treated as sentential operators in semantic theories. What motivates such treatments is the widespread assumption that the tense of a sentence affects the temporal interpretation of all expressions in the sentence. This in turn rests on the assumption that all expressions are interpreted relative to times. 1 This paper has two goals. First, it aims to show that, in a tensed clause, verbs are the only expressions whose interpretation is neccessarily affected by the tense, and that this point is obscured if one insists on semantically analyzing tenses as sentential operators. Second, it aims to show that only predicates of individuals are interpreted relative to times, suggesting that times should be viewed as individuals selected as arguments by the predicates in addition to non-temporal arguments.
