Are you think that English language has the 16 tense? Who study English please tell me: Are you think that English language has the 16 tense? I confident that all normal language has only 3 tense, and that the standard grammar make a mistake when speak it. English constructions has different kind of actions. And that actions can be in the all (3) tense. And they show tense the verb's form (had, have, will have, am, are, is, was, were)... What are you think? What are you think?Yes. Each of this answers is correct. Except 3 answer... But I had to say that this standard grammar is very difficult for study. They have the 3 tenses and the 3 kind of action. And this actions will happen in the all tenses. And they already this tenses show by dint of verbs (have, be)... I think that is easier an understanding. IMHO.

There are 24 in French , are not there ? :))) English like every other language has three common tenses - Past, Present and Future with different forms of it ... which is called tenses.
