and is still going on (has been/have been + ing + since/for)4. Present Perfect (I have done) NOTE: If you are using this structure with a state verb (e.g.:

know, realise, suppose) you will express a state that continuous from the past till now. On the contrary if you use an action verb instead (e.g.:play, study, go) you will indicate a completed action without specified time in the past (has/have + past participle of the verb)

5. Past Simple (I did) indicates a completed action but at a specified time in the past (simple past of the verb NOTE: mind regular and irregular verbs)

6. Past Continuous (I was doing) its an action in progress in the past (was/were + ing)7. Past Perfect Continuous (I had been doing) its an action that has started, and continued for some

time (had been+ ing + since/for)8. Past Perfect (I had done) action that has completed in the past (had + past participle of the

verb)9. Future Simple (I will do) will show a decision at the time of speaking used mainly in

dialogues and in contracted form (will/shall + verb)10. Going to Future (I am going to do) will indicate an action in the future that has already been

planned before the speaker, or something that is certain to happen in the near future (to be+ going to + present simple + future marker)

11. Future Continuous (I will be doing) this is an action in progress at a specific time in the future (will be/shall be + ing + future marker)

12. Future Perfect (I will have done) this one will show an action that will be completed in future (will have/shall have + past participle)

13. Future Perfect Continuous (I will have been doing) action that will have started, will have continued for some time and it will still be in progress in the future (will/shall have been + ing + since/for)


1) Present Simple (I do) Indicates a fact, habit or regular action (Simple present of the verb)

(e.g.: to do – to repeat )

We add an “s” or an “es” for “he,she,it” Always, with every verb *This rule only

apllies for present tense (never past or future)

I do repeat You do repeat He does repeats She does repeats It does repeats We do repeat They do repeat

I do the laundery, but I do not like it.

NOTE: This sentence indicates a fact first and a regular action later.

She repeats and repeats words. They do plastic chairs for

kindergartens. We repeat the concept one more

time. He does not work alone.

It doesn’t talk. You do it very good!

I repeat when I need to remember. We do yoga every Wednesday.

You repeat after me please.


*Pay attention to the next box, it shows the basic structure for Present Continuous. Present Continuous form implies the use of the verb “to be” in the subsject segment and ing-ending for main verb… have a look!

*So if you want to express an action that happens at the moment you are talking you have to use Present Continuous form.

Remember adding “s” or “es” to the main verb is ONLY used in Present tenses

2) Present Continuous (I am doing) indicates a temporary action in progress at present (to be + ing)


3) Present Perfect Continuous (I have been doing) indicates an action that has already started and is still going on (has been/have

been + ing + since/for)

We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all durations

which can be used with the Present Perfect Continuous. So if the formula is: PERSON + HAS/HAVE BEEN + ING + SINCE/FOR, to make sentences with the

following verbs, would be like:*Verbs – to talk, to work, to do, to teach, to wait, to take, to feel, to exercise, to pay attention…

1. They have been talking for the last hour.2. She has been working at that company for three years.3. What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes?4. James has been teaching at the university since June.5. Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?NOTE: Remember you do not ALWAYS need to use “since/for” because other time markers

such as “lately” or “recently” for example can emphazise the same meaning:6. Recently, I have been feeling very tired. 7. Have you been exercising lately?8. Mary has been paying a lot of attention this week.


4) Present Perfect (I have done) Formula: has/have + past participle of the verb

NOTE: The present perfect expresses an action that is still going on or that stopped recently, but has an influence on the present. For irregular verbs, use the participle form. For regular verbs, just add “ed” because the structure is: HAS/HAVE + ED or PAST PARTICIPLE)

1. If you are using this structure with a state verb (e.g.: know, realise, suppose) you will express a state that started and has continued from the past till now.

• I have known the city since 2012. • She has realized there was no more sugar left.• You have supposed too much.

2. On the contrary if you use an action verb instead (e.g.:play, study, go) you will indicate a completed action without specified time in the past (without saying exactly when)

• She has played tennis.• We have already studyed for our Geography lesson. • He had gone to L.A.


Result of an action in the past that is important in the present: I have cleaned my room. Recently completed action: He has just played handball. State beginning in the past and still continuing: We have lived in Canada since 1986. Together with lately, recently, yet: I have been to London recently.Signal words: just, yet, never, already, ever, so far, up to now, recently, since,

for…*Affirmative sentences: She has/she’s cleaned her room.*Negative sentences: She has not/she’s not/she hasn’t cleaned…*Questions: The formula would be (have/has + Subject + verb + rest…)o Has she cleaned her room? Hasn’t she cleaned her room?o Have they cleaned their room? Haven’t they cleaned their room?


5) Past Simple (I did) indicates a completed action but at a specified time in the past (simple past of the verb)

NOTE: mind regular and irregular verbs

Present Perfect (I have done) can also show a completed action BUT without specified time in the past. So this tense Past Simple (I did)

indicates a completed action too BUT it includes marks for specified time in the past, it doesn’t use the auxiliar “to have/has

AND it doesn’t use the past participle form of verbs”Marks: yesterday, last year, a week ago, when I was young, a few years ago, in 2002…1. Action finnished in the past: I visiteded London last week. He playeded football this evening. We wentwent to the cinema a few nights ago.2. Series of completed actions in the past: First I gotgot up, then I hadhad breakfast. She wentwent mad and leftleft away. It waswas much fun when I waswas young.3. Negative and questions: She did not lie when she said that. Did the cat just jump up?



6) Past Continuous (I was doing)When the action was in progress in the past (was/were + ing)

Interruption in the past: Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. See:

a. I was reporting her story when she calledb. What were you doing when the music started?Interruption as a specific-time marker: you can

also use a specific time as an interruptionuse a specific time as an interruption. See:a.a. Last night at 6pmLast night at 6pm, I was eating dinner.b.b. At midnightAt midnight, she was still working.


NoteNote: In the Simple Past, a specific-time marker is used to show when an action began or finished…

Last night at 6pm, I ate dinner.I started eating at 6pm.

In the Past ContinuousPast Continuous, a specific-time marker only interrupts the action…

Last night at 6pm, I waswas eatinging dinner.I started earlier, and at 6pm, I was in the process of eating dinner.

Parallel actions: When you use the Past Continuous with 2 actionswith 2 actions, it expresses the idea that bothboth actions were happening at the same timewere happening at the same time. See:

a. I was driving my car whilewhile she was talking on her phone.

b. Carla wasn’t cooking and I wasn’t cooking eithereither.www.baan-english.com

7) Past Perfect (I had done)When the action was completed in the past (had + past participle)

Mind regular/irregular verb list (with Present Simple – Past Simple – Past Participle forms) and you also need to know that participle form of regular verbs is also made by adding “ed/ded/d” at the end. “You have studieded English before you moved to NYC”

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. E.g.:

“I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet” “He knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times” “Had Brian ever studied Thai before he moved to Thailand?With non-continuous verbs and some non-continuous uses of mixed verbs, we use the

Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past. (check “types of verbs” before) E.g.:

“We had had that car for over ten years before it broke down” “By the time Jason finished his studies, he had been in London for 8 years” “They felt bad about selling the house, because they had owned it for 40 years”


8) Past Perfect Continuous (I had been doing) …an action that has started, and continued for some time (had been+

ing + since/for)

• I had been had been waitinging forfor more than 2 hours there before they let me take the plane.• HadHad you beenbeen waiting foring for more than 2 hours b4 they let you go onboard?• Excuse me! You hadhad not beenbeen waitinging there forfor more than 2 hours b4 …

• They had been talkinghad been talking for over an hour before Tony arrived.• She had been workinghad been working at that company for three years when it went out of business.• How long hadhad you been waitingbeen waiting to get on the bus?• Mike wanted to sit down because he had been standinghad been standing all day at work.• James had been teachinghad been teaching at the university for more than a year before he left for Asia.• A: How long hadhad you been studyingbeen studying Turkish before you moved to Ankara?

B: I had had not been studying been studying Turkish very long.

We use Past Perfect Continuous Past Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and continued up until another time in the past too. "For five minutes" and "for two weeks" are both durations which can be used with the Past Perfect ContinuousPast Perfect Continuous.

Notice that this is related to ”3) Present Perfect Continuous”3) Present Perfect Continuous”; however, the duration does not continue until now, it stops in the past. See:


Using Past Perfect Continuous Past Perfect Continuous before another action in the past is a good way to show cause and effect. E.g.:

• Jason was tired because he had been jogginghad been jogging.• Sam gained weight because he had been overeating had been overeating.• Betty failed the final test because she had not been attendinghad not been attending class.

Past Continuous (I was doing) vs. Past Continuous (I was doing) vs. Past Perfect Continuous (I had been doing)Past Perfect Continuous (I had been doing)If you do not include a duration mark such as "for five minutes," "for two weeks" or "since

Friday," many English speakers choose to use the Past Continuous Past Continuous rather than the Past Past Perfect ContinuousPerfect Continuous. Study the examples below to understand the difference:

• He was tired because he was exercisingwas exercising so hard.THIS SENTENCE EMPHASIZES THAT HE WAS TIRED BECAUSE HE WAS EXERCISING AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.

• He was tired because he had been exercisinghad been exercising so hard.THIS SENTENCE EMPHASIZES THAT HE WAS TIRED BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN EXERCISING HARD. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE WAS STILL EXERCISING AT THAT MOMENT OR THAT HE HAD JUST FINISHED.

REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs / Mixed VerbsIt is important to remember that non-continuous verbs cannot be used in any continuous

tenses. Instead of using Past Perfect Continuous Past Perfect Continuous with these verbs, you must use Past Past Perfect (I had done)Perfect (I had done); see:

• The motorcycle had been belonginghad been belonging to George for years before Tina bought it. Not Correct

• The motorcycle had belongedhad belonged to George for years before Tina bought it. Correctwww.baan-english.com

Please mind……that all of these explanations, mainly the rules, are for you to

understand the mechanism of each of these 13 structures. Not that you have to memorize them by heart.

We want our brain to understand this grammar so it can built sentences by itself. You ONLY get this by practice.You ONLY get this by practice.

When you know your brain is capable of making phrases more or less correctly – from the point of view of grammar – all you need to do is to know (clearly) what you want to say. 1st (I know exactly what I want to say next) – 2nd (I say it)

Tricks: At the beginning is easier when you FIRST think what you want to

say (In your own language), THEN simplify that sentence as much as possible keeping its meaning untouched. And then say it in English (or any other 2nd language you’re practicing)



9) Future Simple (I will do) will show a decision at the time of speaking used mainly in dialogues and in

contracted form (will/shall + infinitive form of the verb)

"Shall" is used to indicate future action. It is most commonly used in sentences with "I" or "we" and is often found in suggestions, such as "Shall we go?” Will is used with all persons. In modern English, particularly in American English, ”shall” with a future reference is rarely used. E.g.:

• Shall I help you? SUGGESTION• I shall never forget where I came from. PROMISE• He shall become our next king. PREDESTINATION• I'm afraid Mr. Smith shall become our new

director. INEVITABILITYContracted forms: Shall - shall not shan't (rarely used)Will 'll will not won't (frequently used)www.baan-english.com

Examples:Examples:• “Wait, I willwill helphelp you” – a spontaneous decision.

• “He willwill probably come back come back tomorrow” – an opinion, hope, uncertainty regarding the future.

• “I willwill not watchwatch TV tonight” – a promise.

• “It will rain will rain tomorrow” – as an action in the future that cannot be influenced.

In certain situations we use “will” to emphasize:• “You will drink will drink your milk”• “You will find will find a job”

More examples:• WillWill you gogo shopping?• She won’t stop won’t stop trying.• You will use will use “Simple Future” very well!


10) Going to Future (I am going to do) will indicate an action in the future that has already been planned before the speaker, or something that is certain to happen in the near future (to be+ going to + present simple +

future marker)

10) Going to Future (I am going to do) will indicate an action in the future that has already been planned before the speaker, or something that is certain to happen in the near future (to be+ going to + present simple +

future marker)

Simple Future has 2 different forms in English: "will" and "be going to” "Be going to" form expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to

do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.• He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.• She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.• A: When are we going to meet each other tonight?

B: We are going to meet at 6 PM.• I'm going to be an actor when I grow up.• Michelle is going to begin medical school next year.• They are going to drive all the way to Alaska.• Who are you going to invite to the party?• A: Who is going to make John's birthday cake?

B: Sue is going to make John's birthday cake.

Going to future expresses an action in the near future that has already been planned or prepared, or a conclusion regarding the immediate future:

• “I am going to am going to study harder next year” - an action in the near future that has already been planned or prepared

• “The sky is absolutely dark. It is going to is going to rain” - a conclusion regarding the immediate future www.baan-english.com

plane arrives tonight.• AreAre you going to begoing to be waitinging for her when her

plane arrives tonight?• You are are not going to be going to be waitinging for her when her

plane arrives tonight.www.baan-english.com

Interrupted action in the future: Interrupted action in the future: Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action also in the future.

I will be watching will be watching TV, when she arrivesarrives tonight. He will be waiting will be waiting for me when the bus arrivesarrives. They will will not be working be working by the time you arrivearrive there. He will be studying will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer

when she arrivesarrives.* NoticeNotice in the examples above that interruptions are in Simple Present interruptions are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is

because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses. This is what it means:

When you will arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Not Correct When you arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Correct

Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eatingam going to be eating dinner.I WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF EATING DINNER.

At midnight tonight, we willwill still be drivingbe driving through the desert.WE WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT.


Parallel Actions in the Future: Parallel Actions in the Future: When you use the Future Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions will be happening at the same time

time. While Ellen is readingreading, Tim will be watchingwill be watching television.

NOTICENOTICE "IS READING" BECAUSE OF THE TIME CLAUSE CONTAINING "WHILE.“

12) Future Perfect (I will have done) This one will show an action that will be completed in future (will habe/shall
