GRAMMAR ©5 TENSES - 90% OF ENGLISH
In this lesson, we will look at the most commonly used grammar tenses in
English. I will also teach you some of the everyday situations in which you
can use each of these tenses. Don't forget to do the quiz at the end to check
your understanding of each verb tense.
VERB TENSES
Technically, there are only three verb tenses: the present, past and future. But
we have 4 different aspects within these tenses: the simple, continuous,
perfect simple and perfect continuous. When we combine these 4 aspects with
the 3 verb tenses, we get what we typically refer to as the 12 verb tenses.
Let’s have a quick review of each:
Present
Present Simple: used for general truths, habits and permanent situations.
Present Continuous: used for actions happening now or around the present
moment.
Present Perfect: used for past actions with a connection to the present or
for experiences.
Present Perfect Continuous: used for actions that started in the past and
are ongoing up to the present.
Past
Past Simple: used to talk about completed actions in the past.
Past Continuous: used for actions that were in progress at a specific time in
the past.
Past Perfect: used for actions completed before a specific time in the past.
Past Perfect Continuous: used for actions that started in the past,
continued and were completed before another past event.
