In English there are three main types of verb tense: simple,continuous and perfect. Students tend to mix up parts of different forms and this is not correct in English.

FORM (using go as an example)
 
 

.	Present (to show habitual action)	Past (to show an action that was done in the past)
Simple Continuous Perfect	Go, goes Am/is/are going Has/have gone	Went Was/were going Had gone

 
Simple present and past forms consist of one word only. The simple present tense form of the verb is the form in a dictionary. It is sometimes called the base form. When the subject is singular you add s to the simple form of the verb. Sometimes adding the letter s
also requires a change in spelling. The simple past tense form of a regular verb is made by adding –ed to the simple form. There are many irregular verbs in English. The most common ones are usually listed in a dictionary.

Continuous forms begin with part of the verb be (am/is/are/was/were) and end with  –ing.

The perfect forms begin with part of the verb have (have/has/had) and end with a past participle. In a regular verb the past participle is the same as the simple past tense, ending in –ed.Use a good dictionary to check the irregular forms.
