Okay, at the last meeting there was a desire to see some 'quick and dirty' explanations of the various verb tenses (in English) and how they are used/what differentiates them. A very quick poke at Google has yielded the following:

TYPES OF VERBS
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/types.html
The menu on the left of the page lists the various tenses. Clicking provides information about how a tense is used and examples. Thorough, but not the handiest cheat sheet type tool.

Page with links. More detail, more clicking/navigating back and forth.

Hope this helps. If not, there is a tanker truck load more to be had by searching Google for "all about verb tenses".
