The tenses simply show the time of an action or state of being as shown by a verb.

Time can be split into three periods The Present (what you are doing), The Past (what you did) and The Future (what you are going to do, or hope / plan to do ).

The tenses we use to show what time we are talking about are split into the SimpleContinuous and Perfect tenses.
