English tenses are considered the most difficult topic, because in Russian we have only 3 tenses, and in English there are 12.

When studying them, everyone has many questions.

  • How long should you use?
  • Would it be a mistake to use one time instead of another?
  • Why is it necessary to use this time, and not another?

This confusion is due to the fact that we learn the grammar rules, but do not fully understand them.

However, English times are not as difficult as they seem.

Their use depends on what kind of message you want to convey to your interlocutor. To do this correctly, you need to understand the logic and use cases of English tenses.

I warn you right away, in this article I will not explain to you the grammatical formation of sentences. In it I will give exactly the understanding of times.

In this article, we will look at the use cases for 12 times and compare them with each other, as a result of which you will understand how they differ, and when what time should be used.

Let's start.

What are the tenses in English?


In English, as well as in Russian, there are 3 blocks of times familiar to us.

1. Present - denotes an action that takes place in the present tense.

2. Past (past) - denotes an action that occurs in the past tense (once upon a time).

3. Future (future) - denotes an action that will take place in the future tense.

However, this is not the end of the English times. Each of these groups of times is subdivided into:

1. Simple- simple.

2. Continuous- long-term.

3. Perfect- completed.

4. Perfect continuous- long-term completed.

The total is 12 times.


It is the use of these 4 groups that confuses English learners. Indeed, there is no such division in the Russian language.

How do you know which time to use?

To use English tenses correctly, you need 3 things.

  • Understand the logic of English times
    That is, to know what time is for what and when it is used.
  • Be able to build sentences according to the rules
    That is, not only to know, but to be able to speak these sentences.
  • Understand what kind of thought you want to convey to the interlocutor
    That is, to be able to choose the right time depending on the meaning that you put into your words.

To understand English times, let's take a closer look at each group.

Once again, I will not explain the grammatical formation of sentences. And I will explain to you the logic by which we determine which group time should be used.

We'll start with the lightest group - Simple.

Simple group times in English

Simple translates to "simple".

We use this time when we talk about facts that:

  • occur in present tense,
  • happened in the past,
  • will occur in the future.

For example

I drive a car.
I drive a car.

We say that a person knows how to drive a car and this is a fact.

Let's take another example.

She bought a dress.
She bought a dress.

We're talking about the fact that sometime in the past (yesterday, last week, or last year) she bought herself a dress.

Remember: when you talk about an action as a fact, then use the Simple group.

You can explore in detail all the times of this group here:

Now let's compare Simple with another group of tenses - Continuous.

Continuous Group Times in English

Continuous is translated as "long, continued".

When we use this time, we speak of action as a process that:

  • is happening at the moment,
  • happened in the past at a certain moment,
  • will happen in the future at some point.

For example

I am driving a car.
I'm driving.

Unlike the Simple group, here we do not mean a fact, but we are talking about a process.

Let's see the difference between fact and process.

Fact:"I can drive a car, I have a license."

Process:"I got behind the wheel some time ago and now I am driving, that is, I am in the process of driving."

Let's take another example.

I will be flying to Moscow tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will fly to Moscow.

We are talking about the fact that tomorrow you will board a plane and for some time will be in the process of flying.

That is, for example, you need to get in touch with a client. You tell him that you will not be able to talk to him at this time, as you will be in the process of the flight.

Remember: when you want to emphasize the duration of an action, that is, that the action is a process, use the times of the Continuous group.

You can read in detail about each time of this group here:

Now let's move on to the Perfect group.

Perfect Group Times in English


Perfect translates as "completed / perfect".

We use this time when we focus on the result of an action, which:

  • we got by now,
  • we got to a certain point in the past,
  • we'll get there by a certain point in the future.

Note that even in the present tense, this tense is translated into Russian as the past. However, despite this, you say that the result of this action is important in the present moment.

For example

I have fixed my car.
I fixed the car.

We focus on the result that we have at the moment - a working machine. For example, you say that you have repaired the car, now it works, and you can go to your friends' dacha.

Let's compare this group with others.

Let's talk about the fact (Simple):

I cooked dinner.
I was cooking dinner.

For example, you tell a friend about the fact that you cooked a delicious dinner yesterday.

I was cooking dinner.
I was cooking dinner.

You say you were in the process of cooking. For example, they did not pick up the phone because they were preparing (were in the process) and did not hear the call.

Talking about the result (Perfect):

I have cooked dinner.
I cooked dinner.

You at the moment have the result of this action - a ready-made dinner. For example, you call the whole family for dinner because dinner is ready.

Remember: when you want to focus on the result of an action, then use the Perfect group.

Read more about all the times of the Perfect group in these articles:

Now let's move on to the last Perfect Continuous group.

Perfect Continuous Times in English

Perfect Continuous translates as "completed long". As you can see from the name, this group of times includes the signs of 2 groups at once.

We use it when we talk about long-term action (process) and about getting a result.

That is, we emphasize that the action began some time ago, lasted (was in the process) for a certain time and at the moment:

1. We got the result of this action

For example: "He repaired the car for 2 hours" (the action lasted 2 hours, and at the moment he has a result - a working machine).

2. The action still continues

For example: “He fixes the car for 2 hours” (he started fixing the car 2 hours ago, was in the process and is still fixing it now).

We can say that the action began some time ago, continued and:

  • ended / continues in the present,
  • ended / continued until a certain point in the past,
  • will end / will continue until a certain point in the future.

For example

I have been cooking this dinner for 2 hours.
I cooked dinner for 2 hours.

That is, you started cooking 2 hours ago and by now you have the result of your action - a ready-made dinner.

Let's compare this time with others like it.

Talking about the process (Continuous):

I am painting a picture.
I am drawing a picture.

We say that we are currently in the process of drawing. It does not matter to us how much time it has already taken, it is important for us that at the moment you are involved in this process.

Talking about the result (Perfect)

I have painted a picture.
I painted a picture.

We say that at the moment we have a result - a complete picture.

Talking about the result and the process (Perfect Continuous)

1. I have been painting a picture for an hour.
I painted the picture for an hour.

We say that at the moment we have a result - a complete picture. You also emphasize that you spent one hour in the drawing process to get this result.

2. I have been painting a picture for an hour.
I paint a picture for one hour.

We say that we are now in the process of drawing, while we focus on the fact that we have been busy with this process for an hour. In contrast to the times of Continuous, where we only care about what happens at a certain (given) moment, and not how much we are already doing this.

Remember: if you want to emphasize not only the result obtained, but also its duration (how long it took you to get it), then use Perfect Continuous.

General table of comparison of times of groups Simple, Continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous

Let's take another look at what each group of times is responsible for. Take a look at the table.

Time Example Accent
Simple I did my homework.
I did my homework.
We are talking about a fact.

For example, you were once at university and doing your homework. It is a fact.

Continuous I was doing my homework.
I did my homework.
We talk about the process, we emphasize the duration of the action.

For example, suppose you didn't clean your room because you were busy doing your homework.

Perfect I have done my homework.
I've done my homework.
We are talking about the result.

For example, suppose you came to class with your homework ready.
The teacher doesn't care how long it took you. He is interested in the result - the work is done or not.

Perfect continuous I have been doing my homework for 2 hours.
I did my homework for 2 hours.
We emphasize not only the result, but also the duration of the action before it is received.

For example, you tell a friend that your homework is too hard. You spent 2 hours on it and:

  • did it (got the result),
  • still doing at the moment.

Outcome

Use English tenses depending on how you want to convey to the interlocutor. The most important thing is to understand what the emphasis is on in each of the times.

1. We speak of action as a fact - Simple.

2. We talk about action as a process - Continuous.

3. We talk about action, focusing on the result - Perfect.

4. We talk about the action, emphasizing that it took a certain time before getting the result - Perfect Continuous.

I hope that now the logic of the English times has become clear to you, and you will be able to convey the correct meaning to the interlocutor.

Tap

Water is a symbol of emotions. If you saw water flowing from the tap, then you have no problem expressing your own feelings. Emotions, both positive and negative, calmly "flow" out of you, do not stagnate and do not accumulate inside. At the moment, there is no cause for concern, everything is fine with you.

Bird

You are overly obsessed with the opinions of others. Behind the wall of other people's assessments, you do not feel yourself and your core. Think about why you are neglecting your own opinions and not hearing yourself.

The person closest to you is yourself. Shift the focus to yourself and everything will work out for you. Healthy egoism should be present to a certain extent in every person.

Wood
