Welcome to the forum. I'm not quite clear what you're trying to achieve and why. Are you a teacher of English? Are you currently a student of English? Are you talking solely about other Polish people or all non-native English speakers? Why do you need to be sure that other people understand English tense usage?

Currently I study English and I wanted to know if there are any tips to help the learners understand tenses.

I see. Your original question didn't make it clear that you were simply talking about yourself!

Hi there, and welcome to the forum.

I think the best way to explain tenses is through real-life examples, not just rules.

I agree.

I also sometimes make simple comparisons between tenses, it helps not to get confused.

Note that the comma is incorrect. You need a semicolon or a full stop (period in AmE) there.

And lots of practice through exercises, videos, and dialogues.

Note the correction.

Please also note:
1- Since you are not a teacher, you are required to indicate that in any answers you post on the forum. You can add it to your signature if you wish.
2- Please correct the info on your profile.

Additionally, @Wifi, please note that I have improved your thread title. Your original title (A question) was useless as an indication of what your question was about.

Tense questions like this always remind me how much nuance English carries even in everyday sentences. Switching between past perfect, simple past, and present perfect depends so much on the speaker’s intent, not just the timeline. I appreciate how forum members break examples down step by step, because it shows learners that correctness isn’t always one rigid rule but the meaning you want the listener to take away.
