There are twelve verb tense forms in English as well as other time expressions such as used to. For English learners, knowing how to use English tenses can be quite a challenge. Never fear.

Look at the verb tense chart above. Do you see how it is arranged? It tells you a lot about how English speakers understand time. There are four present tenses, four past tenses, and four future tenses.

Our native language changes the way we think about time. It also changes the way we use verb tenses. For example, Germans often make mistakes with present perfect. Why? Because it looks like a tense in German, which is NOT the same.

In addition to the 12 tenses, there are extra forms (used to, would always, and future in the past) which are used to express time in English. Here at Englishpage.com, we describe 15 verb forms.What are the most common verb tense mistakes?The most common mistake English learners make is to use simple present to talk about things that are happening now. With most verbs, that's wrong. Present continuous should be used.

One of the most important topics in English grammar is tenses. It also happens to be one of the confusing topics for many English language learners. To help you practise and understand the usage of tenses in English, this article provides you with a few exercises.

There are some simple verb tenses and progressive verb tenses, as well as some irregular verbs, that do not follow the rules when changing tense. While this blog post focuses on perfect verb tenses, these other verb tenses can be explored in other blog posts on Albert.

Now that you understand how perfect verb tense functions in sentences, review the anchor chart below and complete the review to fully understand how to use and recognize perfect verb tense as well as how to differentiate it from other verb tenses.

The German language has six basic verb tenses. Two are what is called simple verb tenses that are made up of a verb or the root: present tense and simple past tense. The other four verb tenses are: future, present perfect, past perfect tense, and future perfect, which are considered to be compound. This means they need a helping verb and an infinitive or past particle to make them.

When it comes to voices, the German language has two: active and passive and each one has a form of it that is parallel to the six verb tenses. Plus the German language has what is called moods: indicative, subjunctive, and imperative. Moods are used to show the attitude of the speaker.

When it comes to learning these parts of the German language, it's best for the beginner to start out with learning the auxiliary type of verbs such as sein or haben. These are vital for you to learn so that you can use the various tenses. Beginners don't need to concentrate on every tense and mood at first; just starts with the more commonly used ones and go from there. It's best to learn the forms of present, present perfect, future and simple past first, and pay attention to how they operate so that you can learn the more complex ones later on.

Writers use tenses to give a particular meaning. The writer might be trying to emphasise the currency, regularity or even ownership of an idea. Some tenses are therefore used more than others in academic English.

The continuous/progressive tenses are used for an event which is not complete, or is temporary or changing. (N.B. The word 'continuous' is used in British and Australian grammar books, while US grammar books use the word 'progressive' for these tenses.)

Pratique Conjugaison par Odile Grand-Clément and Aline Volte Jessica L. Sturm and Randi L. Polk

Grand-Clément, Odile and Aline Volte. Pratique Conjugaison. Paris: CLE International, 2021. 978-209-035373-0. Pp. 192. This worktext leads students through practice of major verb tenses appropriate to the B1/B2 learner. One of the authors, Grand-Clément, also produced a version for the A1/A2 proficiency level. Any instructor who used the A1/A2 learner would seamlessly integrate this worktext as it follows the same organization for simpler verb tenses and provides similar types of activities. The B1/B2 text is divided into thirteen sections and provides exercises for the following tenses and moods: passé composé, imparfait, plus-que-parfait, futur antérieur, passé simple, passé antérieur, impératif, conditionnel présent and passé, subjonctif présent and passé, infinitif, participe présent, voix passive. Each section includes a variety of exercises that allow students to practice the formation of the various tenses and moods through basic drills that provide a verb and pronoun asking students to write out the correct form. Other exercises require students to distinguish between auxiliary verbs, verbs with similar meanings that depend on context like connaître and savoir, or sometimes the difference between the passé composé or imparfait (or other pairs that might cause trouble in subsequent sections like futur antérieur v. conditionnel passé). There are other activities where learners match sentence fragments or other elements, fill in blanks, and complete dehydrated sentences. The varied exercises allow students ample practice to solidify their ability to form these verbs and see the usage in context. Like most other CLE volumes, this text comes with a separate paper pamphlet with the answers so learners can check answers to the 500 exercises on their own. This volume allows learners to practice writing, recognition, and some basic reading skills. The text would be a great resource for a grammar course as it provides many mechanical exercises, so students are prepared to use verbs in more complex situations. Instructors might, for example, follow up with oral presentations or debates that require the use of certain tenses and moods or encourage students to integrate more previously learned vocabulary and structures so they can practice prior knowledge and build on it with new verb tenses and moods. In sum, the worktext is a great resource or supplement for learners trying to master the intricacies of French verbs and can complement other texts and activities in the classroom. The volume can also function as a standalone practice resource for independent learners. [End Page 178]
