    Simple Past Present Future
    Continuous Past Continuous Present Continuous Future Continuous
    Perfect Past Perfect Present Perfect Future Perfect
    Past Perfect Present Perfect Future Perfect
    Perfect Continuous
    Continuous Continuous Continuous

    Contoh penerapannya adalah sebagai berikut:


    Past Present Future
    Simple She sang a song She sings a song She will sing a song
    Continuous She was singing She is singing She will be singing
    Perfect She had sung She has sung She will have sung
    Perfect Continuous She had been singing She has been singing She will have been
    singing

    Clues:
    1) All Simple use Verb 1 / Verb 2
    2) All Future use will
    3) All Continuous use to be
    4) All Perfect use had/has/have + Verb 3
    5) All Perfect Continuous use had/has/have + been + Verb-ing

    Simplifying Tenses
    The difference between one activity and two activities:
    1) One activity --> "Simple"
    2) Two activities :
    (a) At the same time --> "Continuous" vs "Simple"
    (Here, the longer action is "Continuous") e.g. : I was watching television when she
    knocked my door last night.

    (b) At sequence --> "Perfect" vs "Simple"


    (Here, the longer action is "Perfect")
    e.g. :
    - I will have finished my report when my boss arrives tomorrow.
    - She had studied Japanese language before she went to Tokyo in 2008.

    Good luck!
