As such an analysis of Dhivehi has never before been conducted, the significance of this study lies in the original contribution it makes to advancing the knowledge of the language, following rigorous linguistic methods of inquiry. Based on a qualitative research methodology, the study utilized a sample of 1835 sentences. The results indicate that there are two tenses and three aspects currently in use in Dhivehi. The two tenses include Future Tense and Past Tense. The three aspects are Habitual Aspect, Present Progressive Aspect, and Perfect Aspect.
