Answer 1

There are actually three principal tenses in English: present, past, and future. Each principal tense is divided in four, thus there are 12 tenses.

present

1. Simple Present - When you use the simple present tense, you are using a routine. It’s something that you always do every day, month or year. Or it’s something that you never do. Ex. He plays basketball.
2. Present Continuous/Progressive - When you use present continuous, you are referring to what is happening right now. Also, it can be an action that is not yet complete. Ex. He is playing basketball.
3. Present Perfect - Although it’s easy to confuse this verb tense with present simple, the main difference is that the action is complete for present perfect. In other words, you are looking at the result right now without any words referring to time. Ex. He has played basketball.
4. Present Perfect Continuous/Progressive - In this verb tense, an action starts in the past but it’s still continuing now. You have been performing the action and still are performing the action in the present. Ex. He has been playing basketball for years.

Past

1. Simple Past - For simple past tense. it includes a finished action and time. Ex. He played basketball yesterday.
2. Past Continuous/Progressive - When you use past continuous, you are often using two actions. However, one action is not finished in the past, and another is complete interrupting the other action.. He was playing basketball when the school bell rang.
3. Past Perfect - This verb tense uses two actions at two different times. Before the second action occurs, the first action is complete. Ex. He had finished playing basketball when the school bell rang.
4. Past Perfect Continuous/Progressive - For colloquial English, we don’t use past perfect continuous very often. But in text books, it’s a bit more common. This very tense has a complete action that happened before a second action. But in this case, you can describe how long. Ex. He had been playing basketball for an hour when the school bell rang.

Future

1. Simple Future - This verb tense is about planning things to do in the future. You can use will or going to as indicated. Ex. He will play basketball all day tomorrow.
2. Future Continuous/Progressive - The action is not complete, when another action happens in the future. This is similar to past continuous, but it refers to the future. Ex. He will be playing basketball when you arrive.
3. Future Perfect - An action will be completed in the future before another is completed. Ex. He will have finished playing basketball by the time you arrive.
4. Future Perfect Continuous/Progressive - An action will be continuing in the future when it is interrupted by another action. In this future verb tense, it often includes an indication of how long the action has been happening. Ex. He will have been playing basketball for one hour when you arrive,

There you have it. Hope this helps.
