Welcome to Using English.

This is a big question. How much of this topic do you understand already?

The answer to these questions are easily found on the web. Simply enter each phrase into the search box of a search engine and press enter.

If you are interested in learning grammar (and Well done - Good idea!) you are going to need at least 1) a grammar book or 2) an ability to search the web.
I'd suggest acquiring both.

[QUOTE=shabysaf;817011]Hi,

NOT A TEACHER


(1) The teachers have given you excellent advice.

(2) I am also a learner, so I understand your confusion.

(3) I hope that the following examples are correct:

(a) Present perfect: I have just read your interesting post.

Present perfect progressive (continuous) : I have been thinking about your post for the last 5 minutes (I am still thinking about it).

(b) Past perfect: I had already eaten dinner before Mona came to my home. (I finished my dinner at 6:15 p.m. Mona came to my home at 6:30 p.m.)

Past perfect progressive: I had been eating for 10 minutes when Mona came to my house. (I started to eat at 6:05 p.m. At 6:15 p.m., I heard a knock on my door. So I stopped eating and answered the door. Mona came in, and I invited her to join me for dinner.)

(c) Future perfect: By December of this year ( = When December, 2011, arrives), I will have been a member of usingenglish.com for two years. I started in December, 2009.)

Future perfect progressive: By December of this year (December is still not here yet), I will have been reading many interesting posts, such as yours, for two years.
