Some examples:

Past Continuous - "I was building a wall yesterday."
Past Simple - "I built a new garage last week."
Past Perfect Simple - "By the time the company went bust they had already
built the new shopping centre."
Past Perfect Continuous - "They had been building the new shopping centre
for 2 months when they heard about the bankruptcy."

Double Past Imperfect Meta-Subjunctive:

How many bills would I have build Bill if I could have build Bill for
building buildings?
