Grammatical Tenses:
In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of
specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns. Tenses generally express time relative to
the moment of speaking. In some contexts, however, their meaning may be relativized to a point in the past
or future which is established in the discourse (the moment being spoken about).
Simple Tenses
The simple tenses are used to show permanent characteristics of people and events or what happens
regularly, habitually or in a single completed action.
Continuous Tenses
The continuous tenses are used when talking about a particular point in time.
Perfect Tenses
Sometimes you need to give just a little bit more information about an action or state and that is where the
perfect tenses come in. The perfect tenses are used when an action or situation in the present is linked to a
moment in the past. It is often used to show things that have happened up to now but aren't finished yet or to
emphasize that something happened but is not true anymore. When they end determines which of them you
use.

Perfect tenses are never used when we say when something happened i.e. yesterday, last year etc. but can be
used when discussing the duration of something i.e. often, for, always, since etc.
Discussing the future in English can seem complicated. The present simple, present continuous, present
perfect simple and the present perfect continuous can all be used and often it is possible to use more than one
structure, but have the same meaning.
