The English language has 2 Aspects: the Simple and the Continuous or Progressive one. This means that every tense has tow forms, one Simple and one Continuous. For example, the Simple Present (the Present Simple) of the verb "to stay" is: I stay, you stay, he stays, she stays, it stays, we stay, you stay, they say, whereas the Continuous Present (or the Present Continuous) is: I am staying, you are staying, he is staying, .... they are staying. The Simple Past (the Past Tense): I stayed (I was staying = the Past Continuous); the Simple Future: I will/shall stay (The Future Continuous = I will/shall be staying); the Simple Present Perfect = We have stayed (the Present Perfect Continuous = We have been staying); the Simple Past Perfect = They had stayed (the Past Perfect Continuous = They had been staying).
