 Well, to be able to read, say,  the Yoga suutras, one hardly needs to know any 
tenses.
 There are less than 5 finite verb forms in YS. Actually, I seem to recall 
there are
 only 2 or 3 of those, both / all of them  in the present tense indicative 3rd 
person singular...

Just wait until they start learning the 11 tenses.  It's such a much 
more complicated language than probably any modern day language.  And 
make sure you don't confuse Devanagari, the alphabet, with Sanskrit 
because Hindi also uses it and it there is are added characters for "z" 
and "f" which didn't exist in Sanskrit so they could spell foreign words 
with the characters.  When I was in India you would see a store sign 
with Devanagari on the top line and English on the bottom but the 
Devanagari was spelling out what was written in English. :-D
