Future simple: I will study French language tomorrow.
Present simple: I study everything.
Past simple: I studied math yesterday.
The progressive tenses:
Future progressive: I will be studying tomorrow.
Present progressive: I am studying now.
Past progressive: I was studying an hour ago.
The perfect tenses:
Future perfect: I will have studied for two years next month.
Future perfect progressive: I will have been studying all day when she arrives home.

Past perfect: I had studied all week before I took the exam.
