What are tenses, what are its types.

Tenses are grammatical forms used to indicate when an action or event takes place. There are three main tenses in English: present, past, and future. Each tense has four aspects, which describe how the action or event is taking place in relation to the time it occurred. The four aspects of each tense are:

Simple: The simple aspect is used to describe an action or event that takes place at a specific point in time. For example, "I eat breakfast at 7 am every day."

Continuous: The progressive aspect is used to describe an ongoing action or event that is happening at the time of speaking. For example, "I am eating breakfast right now."

Perfect: The perfect aspect is used to describe an action or event that occurred before a specific point in time. For example, "I have eaten breakfast already this morning."

Perfect Continuous: The perfect progressive aspect is used to describe an action or event that began in the past, continued up to the present, and may continue into the future. For example, "I have been eating breakfast for an hour."

Here are some examples of each tense:
