IMO the most important verb tenses:
SIMPLE PRESENT
SIMPLE PAST
SIMPLE FUTURE
PRESENT PROGRESSIVE
PAST PROGRESSIVE
PRESENT PERFECT
PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
Other verb tenses- lower-frequency
FUTURE PROGRESSIVE- substitute SIMPLE FUTURE

go to Surrey tonight.”
PAST PERFECT- substitute SIMPLE PAST

FUTURE PERFECT- substitute SIMPLE FUTURE

12 verb tenses- 7 are most useful.
