The data are analyzed by using matching and distributional techniques, with the replacement and expansion techniques. The results of the research are (1) the time markers in Mongondow language (Bahasa Mongondow) are future= ain, continuous = koyogot, perfect = novalut, (2) Future tense time marker ain and Present Continuous time marker koyogot must be present before the verb with prefix mo-. Meanwhile, Perfect tense time marker novalut (sudah/has or has been) is optional because the morphological change from mo- to no- indicates perfect tense, (3) Time markers in Mongondow language can be marked lexically and morphemically. Mongondow language needs to be improved continuously as an effort to characterize regional languages as national assets and in addition this research can be a reference for teaching local languages as an option for schools in applying local content-based learning.
