KESTOPREESENS ...jotain tapahtuu/on tapahtumassa juuri nyt
I am baking a cake. Mum is reading and dad is washing our car. My brother and sister are out playing football.
KESTOIMPERFEKTI ...jotain oli tapahtumassa/meneillään, kun jotain muuta tapahtui yhtäkkiä
I was baking a cake when I heard a cash. My sister and brother were playing football and my sister had kicked the ball through our living-room window.
KESTOPERFEKTI ...kertoo mitä joku on tehnyt tai mitä on tapahtunut. Toiminta on alkanut aiemmin mutta on vielä kesken
I have been baking cakes since I was nine years old. My brother has been playing football since he was five.
KESTOPLUSKVAMPERFEKTI ...kertoo mitä oli tapahtunut tiettyyn aikaan menneisyydessä, ennen kuin jotain muuta tapahtui yhtäkkiä
We had been looking for our bikes for a long time before we found them.
