In English, the present and past tenses can be expressed by the forms of the verb. However, the future tense
can be expressed by present tense, present progressive tense, future progressive tense, or auxiliary verbs (will,
be going to). For each of time, there are three possibilities with most verbs: simple, progressive (be + -ing)
and perfect (have + past participle). There is not a direct relationship between verb forms and time. For
example, a past verb like went is not only used to talk about past events, but also about unreal or uncertain
present or future events in conditional sentences.
