英语中根据时间和形式一共有16种时态：
1.一般现在时：结构：由动词表示；但是,如果主语是第三人称单数,将谓语动词改为第三人称单数形式．
2.一般过去时：结构：由动词的过去式表示,动词的过去式有规则变法和不规则变法两种（规则变法就是在动词后面加ed的那种；不规则变法,在教科书单词的后面有一页是表示动词不规则变法的）．
3.现在进行时：结构：由助动词(am/ is/ are)＋动词的现在分词表示．动词的现在分词,就是在动词后面按要求＋ing.
4.现在完成时：结构：有助动词(have/has)＋动词的过去分词．动词的过去分词的变法跟动词过去式的变法相同．
5.现在完成进行时：结构：有助动词(have/has)＋助动词been＋动词的现在分词表示．
