Yesterday, I drive car.
I drive car. (Could be any tense including Perfect, infer meaning from context.)

Next year, I drive car.
Every language seems to have places where multiple words are required. Maybe it has to do with what's important to the culture. English for example, is weak on pronouns for "you." We use the same word for one person as for a group, so if I'm talking to three people, I have to say "y'all," "you lot," "you guys," "you folks," etc. Hawaiian is precise in that aspect. There is a different word for singular you, dual you (closest is "you two" in English), and plural you. It's also a different word between "the person I'm talking to plus the other person near us," "the two people near us other than the person I'm talking to," and "those two people over there." In theory, I could say "Do you want to go to the movies?" to a girl in a group, and it would be clear whether I was asking just her on a date, inviting the whole group for an outing, or inviting the rest of the group except her (since Cheryl is working, would the rest of you like to go to the movies?), just by using the right form of "you". The forms of "my," "your," "our," and "my beloved" are similarly precise.
