2. Past Simple
You use the past simple when you want to talk
about something at a definite time in the past
(for example yesterday, last night, in 1993 etc)

5. Simple present
Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual.
The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or
something that often happens. It can also be something a person often
forgets or usually does not do.

8. Future simple
Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to."
Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often
express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem
too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become
clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
9. Examples
You will help him later.
. Will you help him later?
You are going to meet Jane tonight.
. Are you going to meet Jane tonight?

11. Past perfect
The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another
action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a
specific time in the past
12. Example

I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet.
Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times
13. exercises
1) Peter played football yesterday.
2) They has cleaned the car. It looks new again
3) Last year we went to Italy
14. Present perfect
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified
time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the
Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year
ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment,
that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific
expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so
far, already, yet,
15. Examples
I have seen that movie twenty times.
I think I have met him once before.
There have been many earthquakes in California.
People have traveled to the Moon.
People have not traveled to Mars.

17. Future perfect
Future Perfect has two different forms: "will have done" and "be going to
have done." Unlike Simple Future forms, Future Perfect forms are usually
interchangeable.
18. Examples

Will you have perfected your English by the time you come back from the U.S.?
You will not have perfected your English by the time you come back from the U.S.
