It should be understood that “tense” is a verb, a noun, and an adjective. It has tenses only as a verb.

The past tense of the verb “tense” is “tensed.” Example:

“George was already tense [adjective], but when he heard that his mother-in-law would be visiting him and his wife for the following week, he tensed [verb in the past tense] even further.”
