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).
Some examples: Past tense - worked. Future tense - will work. Past tense - played. Future tense - will play. Past tense - lied. Future tense - will lie.
A tense is a way of referring to a time (past, present or future) in language. Eg. if you say 'I have walked half a mile today', you are using the past tense because you have finished walking at the moment of speaking. Within each tense, there is a further subdivision: simple and continuous. If you want to stress the duration of the action of which you speak (the fact that it is/was/will be going on), you use the continuous. Here are some examples of every tense and its variations: present simple: I walk present continuous: I am walking present perfect simple: I have walked present perfect continuous: I have been walking past simple: I walked past continuous: I was walking past perfect simple: I had walked past perfect continuous: I had been walking future simple: I will walk future continuous: I will be walking future perfect: I will have walked future perfect continuous: I will have been walking
Time!'I was running' (past continuous) tells us that the action was in the past and has finished.'I am running' (present continuous) tells us that the action started at some time in the past and is still continuing at the present time.
