Broadly there are three tenses: present tense, past tense and future tense.

There are further subdivisions of tenses in each of them.  The tense tells the time of occurring of the action indicated by the verb.

 

 I eat an apple.    - simple present tense
 I am eating an apple  -  present continuous tense

 I ate an  apple    -   simple Past tense  -  
 I was eating an apple  -  past continuous tense

past participle - is :  done,  eaten , ran, written etc..

I have done    -  present perfect tense 
I have eaten    - present perfect tense 
i have written  - present perfect tense

i had written    -  past perfect tense
i had  eaten  - past perfect tense

First let us know three forms of each verb : Infinitive, Gerund and Participle.

Get Infinitive form by putting "to" before the verb like : to go, to hold, to pay, to ask, to take ....

hear      hearing      heard
ask       asking        asked
lose       losing        lost
go          going        gone
=====================

Future perfect tense:    Put  "will have" before participle.
      will have taken, will have done, will have gone, will have lost,...

Present continuous:
   I am / You are/They are/ we are/ he is/she is/ it is  followed by gerund.

         I will be taking.   It will be losing.  She will be going.

Present perfect tense:
