Tenses

Today we are going to learn about Tenses. There are three main times or tenses in English: 🔶The Present Tense 🔶The Past Tense 🔶The Future Tense Each of these tenses are further divided: 🔶Present Tense: Simple or indefinite present, Present continuous or present progressive, present perfect, and present perfect continuous.

Let us first learn about Simple Present Tenses

👉The simple present (also called present simple or present indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show repetition, habit or generalization. Less commonly, the simple present can be used to talk about scheduled actions in the near future and, in some cases, actions happening now. 

👉 Next we are gonna read about Present Continuous Tense

The present continuous of any verb is composed of two parts - the present tense of the verb to be + the present participle of the main verb.

👉Moving forward we have Present Perfect Tenses

The present perfect is used to indicate a link between the present and the past. The time of the action is before now but not specified, and we are often more interested in the result than in the action itself.

Now comes Simple Past and Past Continuous Tense

The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now. Imagine someone asks what your brother Wolfgang did while he was in town last weekend.

The past continuous describes actions or events in a time before now, which began in the past and were still going on when another event occurred.

Past Perfect Tenses

The past perfect is formed using had + past participle. Questions are indicated by inverting the subject and had. Negatives are made with not

Looking Forward we have Future Tenses

Simple Future Tenses

The simple future tense is used when an action is promised/thought to occur in the future.

The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected length of time. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root verb + -ing).

Future Perfect Tenses   The future perfect is made with the future simple of 'have' (will have) and the past participle. For regular past participles add 'ed' to the verb ('play' becomes 'played')

 And the last topic is 

  Conditional sentences are statements discussing known factors or hypothetical situations and their consequences. Complete conditional sentences contain a conditional clause (often referred to as the if-clause) and the consequence.
