Note:
1. To tenses FUTURE and PAST FUTURE (The non-verbal) may be very strange if used into a sentence, because although there are, the tenses are rarely used in daily conversation - today.

2. For FUTURE PAST, its subject matter, should keep using HAVE.

Easy way to memorize the 16 formula tenses.

First we have to memorize the first 16 tenses name it, and we continue to memorize the formula. For how to remember the names of all the tenses, I've explained in a previous post. please see here. So now we are going to learn how to remember the formula. Here I will explain in points - points, to make it more easily understood.

1. Characteristic feature is the verbal sentence using the VERB and Object

2. In contrast, the characteristic features of non verbal sentence is TOBE and adjective.

3. To be here is assumed to be (am, is, are), or form one.

4. Continuous traits characteristic phrase is "TO BE + Ving". (Am, is, are, for the present. Was Past were for. Been for perfect and continuous.

5. Characteristic features of perfect tense is "HAVE / HAS / HAD + V3". (Note: Have to Present, Had to Past)

6. Characteristic traits of sentence IS PERFECT CONTINUOUS "Have / Had + Been + Ving".

7. Characteristic traits futures sentence is Will.

8. Characteristic feature is the Future Past WOULD sentence.

Note: Make sure you memorize all the hallmark features.
Then how can we can make a sentence without looking at the formula? Let us try to practice.

We take an example, we make the formula "PAST PERFECT" is verbal.
 

1. All sentences begin with the subject here, then we must determine the subject first.

I +

2. Having defined subject, and the second is putting Had and Verb 3. Because as I explained earlier verbal phrase to characterize perfect is had + V3. Had we used because we want to make sentences Past. (See point number 5)

+ I + Had Done

3. Finished.

Want more examples? Well let's try to make a sentence with the formula FUTURE PERFECT continuous.

1.    As before, we specify the subject first. Here I will be demonstrated "They".

They +

2.    Characteristic traits of the Future tense is will. (See point number 7). Hence,

They + will +

3.    Then the characteristic traits of the "Perfect Continuous" is have / had + been + Ving (See point number 6) then,

+ They + Will + Have + been studying

4.    Just add the object or adverb. (Although not given additional object / adverb also not what - what)

Objects give additional examples:

+ They + Will + Have + been + studying English

Adverb give additional examples:

They + Will + Have + been + there + Studying
