The verb ending is changed (conjugated) to show what time it is referring to. • Time can be divided into three periods: ThePresent (what you are doing), The Past (what you did) and The Future (what you are going to do).

  11. The Tenses • The tenses we use to show what time we are talking about are divided into the Simple, Continuous and Perfect tenses. • In English we use two tenses to talk about the present and six tenses to talk about the past. There are several ways to talk about the future.

  12. The Tenses 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.

  13. The Tenses Continuous Tenses The continuous tenses are used when talking about a particular point in time.

  14. The Tenses Perfect Tenses 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.
