I really recommend you do read this if you are interested in the English Verb Tenses mind map. It will be much clearer if you do and you'll get to know a bit more about what went into making it into the bargain!

The verb tenses I cover are:

Past Simple / Present Simple / Future Simple
Past Continuous / Present Continuous / Future Continuous
Past Perfect Simple / Present Perfect Simple / Future Perfect Simple
Past Perfect Continuous / Present Perfect Continuous / Future Perfect Continuous

A single, simple example (She studies English) is conjugated in all the tenses, and some typical sentence endings are given for more context.

I've also indicated some classic characteristics of each tense (habits, unfinished past, etc.) and provide a timeline diagram to aid comprehension further. The rest is up to you!

Please feel free to use this mind map in class and share with your students respecting the copyright requirements as specified in the blog post linked to above.

I'd also be delighted to know what you think of my efforts.

Have fun teaching or learning the wonderful, wicked, wistical* English verb tenses!
