Past, present, and future verbs all have a perfect form and a progressive form. The perfect tense indicates a completed action, and the progressive tense indicates an ongoing action.
Use have/has + past participle to create the present perfect. For my examples, I will use the verb take.
I have taken (first person singular)
We have taken (first person plural)
You have taken (second person singular and plural)
He/she/it has taken (third person singular)
They have taken (third person plural)
For the past perfect, use had + past participle. It is had taken for first, second, and third persons, singular and plural.
Will + have + past participle creates the future perfect. It is will have taken for first, second, and third persons, singular and plural.
The present progressive uses is/am/are + a present participle (present participles always end in -ing).
I am taking (first person singular)
We are taking (first person plural)
You are taking (second person singular and plural)
He/she/it is taking (third person singular)
They are taking (third person plural)
The past progressive uses was/were + present participle
I was taking
We were taking
You were taking
He/she/it was taking
They were taking
The future progressive uses will + be + present participle
I will be taking
We will be taking
You will be taking
He/she/it will be taking

In English, there is no "progressive past participle".The past participle of listen is listened, and it is used with an auxiliary verb to create the perfect tenses. The past participle can be used in past, present, and future tenses. It is the job of the auxiliary verb to show the tense.Examples:had listened is the past perfect tensehave/has listened is the present perfect tensewill have listened is the future perfect tenseThe present participle of listen is listening. Present participles are used to create the progressive tenses, and like the perfect tenses, auxiliary verbs show the tense.Examples:was/were listening is the past progressive tenseam/is/are listening is the present progressive tensewill be listening is the future progressive tense
