The Seven Most High-Frequency Verb Tenses in English
There are 12 main verb tenses in English:
SIMPLE PRESENT
SIMPLE PAST
SIMPLE FUTURE
PRESENT PROGRESSIVE is working
PAST PROGRESSIVE was driving
FUTURE PROGRESSIVE low-frequency verb tense
PRESENT PERFECT
PAST PERFECT substitute simple past
She had lived lived in Cairo for six years. -authentic English
FUTURE PERFECT
She will have been
working for 30 years by the time she retires.
PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
She has been living in
Canada for two years.
PAST PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
FUTURE PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
Many of these vertb tenses we rarely if ever use. There is
little good reason to spend time learning verb tenses that are not used often.
I want to focus on the verb tenses that are high-frequency, the ones that we
use all the time, a lot, all day long.
These are the most useful verb tenses that we will focus on:
SIMPLE PRESENT
SIMPLE PAST
SIMPLE FUTURE
PRESENT PROGRESSIVE
PAST PROGRESSIVE
PRESENT PERFECT
PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
