The research found out that the bare form of the verb is used to realise past time, present time and perfective meaning. The methodology comprised recordings of conversation of students at the University of Cape Coast and excerpts from television programs. The theoretical framework that served as a bedrock for the analysis was the superstrate and substrate theory. This research examined temporal markers in Ghanaian Pidgin English.
