There are three main tenses in English language: past, present, and future. Each of these tenses can take four main aspects: simple, perfect, continuous (progressive), and perfect continuous. The perfect aspect is formed using the auxiliary verb to have, while the continuous aspect is formed using the auxiliary verb to be.
