The simple tenses are past, present, and future.

We walked the dog yesterday - past simple (regular verb)

Answer 3

The Past Simple refers to an event that happened at a specific time in the past. e.g. I wrote a letter. The Present Simple does not really refer to time at all. It is used to say that something is a general truth or true for all time. e.g. I like apple juice. Consequently this tense is sometimes called the Present Indefinite The Future Simple(or Simple Future) refers to an event in the future, but there are various ways of doing this. e.g. (1) The train arrives at 6 p.m. = Present Simple tense for the future. (2) The train will arrive at 6 p.m. = Future Simple

The Present Perfect Simple is an event in the past which has some relevance to the present. e.g. I have written a letter. (so they will now know how I feel about the matter) The Past Perfect Simple refers to an event in the past which occurred before another event in the past. e.g I had just finished my supper when (something else happened)Future Perfect Simple is used for a completed event in the future which has some relevance to the past. e.g. At the end of this month I will have lived in this country for two years.
