4- perfect continuous.

add to that 4 parts of the future :

this color is for He, She, It.

This is too long to check. You should have shorter postings, one on each subject.

Click on the buttons underneath your posting, you'll find threads on each of the tenses, with examples.

Hi,

I think you are stil asking for people to do too much work. In addition, some of these tenses/voices are very seldom used, so I wonder how much use this information will be to you in making your English better. That, of course, is a matter for you to decide.

Best wishes, Clive
