1. Mastering the Art of English Tenses Welcome to this engaging journey into the world of English tenses! This presentation will illuminate the intricacies of past, present, and future tenses, empowering you to express yourself accurately and effectively. by Nigusu Mekuria

2. Understanding Simple Tenses: Past, Present, and Future Past Simple Describes actions that happened and finished in the past. Example: "I walked to school yesterday." Present Simple Used for regular, habitual actions, facts, and general truths. Example: "The sun rises in the east." Future Simple Indicates actions that will happen in the future. Example: "I will visit my family next week."

3. Exploring Perfect Tenses: Completed Actions Across Time Past Perfect Indicates an action completed before another past action. Example: "I had eaten lunch before I went to the park." Present Perfect Expresses actions completed in the past with a connection to the present. Example: "I have lived in this city for five years." Future Perfect Describes an action that will be completed by a specific time in the future. Example: "I will have finished my project by Friday."

4. Continuous Tenses: Actions in Progress Past Continuous Describes an ongoing action in the past. Example: "I was studying when you called." Present Continuous Used for actions happening now. Example: "I am writing a presentation." Future Continuous Indicates an ongoing action in the future. Example: "I will be working on my project tomorrow."

5. Perfect Continuous: Combining Duration and Completion 1 Past Perfect Continuous Describes an action that continued until a specific point in the past. Example: "I had been working on this for hours before I finally finished." 2 Present Perfect Continuous Expresses an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Example: "I have been studying English for two years." 3 Future Perfect Continuous Indicates an action that will continue until a specific time in the future. Example: "By next year, I will have been living in this house for ten years."
