Few Basic Things Of English (Helpful for those who want to learn Spoken English)

Especially in India there are many people who can't speak English properly . . That's the reason why they feel uncomfortable & uncompleted when they interact with modern people . Hence to compete with the modern world thy spent lot of money to learn English .
                But for those who can't spent Here are few basic points containing details about Tense & Aspects . which will be Helpful to Start learning . .

Aspects of the present tense:

Present simple (not progressive, not perfect): "I eat"
Present progressive(progressive, not perfect): "I am eating"
Present perfect (not progressive, perfect): "I have eaten"
Present perfect progressive(progressive, perfect): "I have been eating"

(While many elementary discussions of English grammar classify the present perfect as a past tense, it relates the action to the present time. One cannot say of someone now deceased that he "has eaten" or "has been eating". The present auxiliary implies that he is in some way present (alive), even if the action denoted is completed (perfect) or partially completed (progressive perfect).)

Aspects of the past tense:

Past simple (not progressive, not perfect): "I ate"
Past progressive (progressive, not perfect): "I was eating"
Past perfect (not progressive, perfect): "I had eaten"
Past perfect progressive(progressive, perfect): "I had been eating"

Aspects can also be marked onnon-finite forms of the verb: "(to) be eating" (infinitive with progressive aspect), "(to) have eaten" (infinitive with perfect aspect), "having eaten" (present participle or gerund with perfect aspect), etc. The perfect infinitive can further be governed by modal verbs to express various meanings, mostly combining modality with past reference: "I should have eaten" etc. In particular, the modals will and shall and their subjunctive forms would and should are used to combine future or hypothetical reference with aspectual meaning:

Simple futuresimple conditional: "I will eat", "I would eat"
Future progressiveconditional progressive: "I will be eating", "I would be eating"
Future perfectconditional perfect: "I will have eaten", "I would have eaten"
