le présent

le passé simple

le passé antérieur

le passé récent

le futur simple

le futur proche

l'indicatif

l'impératif

le conditionnel

le subjonctif

But English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Arabic, and many other languages use different tenses so the listener will be very clear about when an action took place.
