Verb tenses
Hello everybody,
My question seems very simple for some of you, but for me is still dificult to understand. It's about the verb tenses, i don't know WHEN and HOW i use the present perfect and the past perfect, also i don't know when i use the continuous form of then.
I would appreciate if you answer these questions for me.
