There are two tenses in English - past and present.

The past tense in English is used:

to talk about the past

to talk about hypotheses - things that are imagined rather than true.

for politeness.

There are four past tense forms in English:

We use these forms:

He worked at McDonald's. He had worked there since July..
He was working at McDonald's. He had been working since July.

He could get a new job if he really tried.
If Jack was playing they would probably win.

and hypotheses:

It might be dangerous. Suppose they got lost.
I would always help someone who really needed help.

and wishes:

I wish it wasn't so cold.

In conditions, hypotheses and wishes, if we want to talk about the past, we always use the past perfect:

I would have helped him if he had asked.
It was very dangerous, What if you had got lost?
I wish I hadn't spent so much money last month.

We can use the past forms to talk about the present in a few polite expressions:

Excuse me, I was wondering if this was the train for York.
I just hoped you would be able to help me.

There are several different ways in English that you can talk about the future. This page is an introduction to the most important ones:

- Predictions/statements of fact
- Intentions
- Arrangements
- Scheduled events

Predictions/statements of fact

The auxiliary verb will is used in making predictions or simple statements of fact about the future.

The sun will rise at 6.30 tomorrow.

Lunch break today will be 10 minutes longer than usual.

In the year 2050 all students will have their own computers in school.

If you help me, I will help you.

Do you think she will come soon?

You won't pass your exams if you don't start working harder.

I know my parents won't let me go to the party.

Will it snow for Christmas?

I know she's sick, but will she be back in school tomorrow?

Intentions
The auxiliary verb going to is used in talking about intentions. (An intention is a plan for the future that you have already thought about.)

Arrangements

The present continuous tense is used in talking about arrangements. (An arrangement is is a plan for the future that you have already thought about and discussed with someone else.)

I leave Frankfurt at 5 o'clock in the morning and arrive in New York

She has an appointment with the headmaster after school today.

There's no need to hurry. The train doesn't leave for another 30 minutes.
