  • From my German perspective I often think the same about time forms in other languages. For conversations you can for the most part get by knowing the present tense and the “Perfekt” past tense. The other forms are important to know down the line but in day to day German those are the one’s you’ll hear the most. And then there’s English. Simple Present, Present Progressive, Simple Past, Past Progressive, Present Perfect, Present Perfect Progressive, Past Perfect, Past Perfect Progressive, Will-Future, Going to-Future, Future Progressive, Future Perfect, Future Perfect Progressive. And apart from maybe 3 or 4 they’re all in daily use.
