====== Past tense, present perfect or past perfect? ======

<WRAP tip>
  * “Tense” means “Zeitform”

  * The “past tense simple” is also often called the “simple past”. 

  * “Progressive” and “continuous” mean the same in the names of tenses. So past progressive and past continuous are the same tense.
