I really want to improve my English skills...

What are the rules?

Present simple
You have to follow the present simple rule when something is a fact or a habbit.

Present continious/ present progressive
When something is happening at the moment, now.
Example: I am talking to you right now.

Past simple
When something is done in the past, it's over now. There is a focuss on the time when it happend.
Example: I saw him one hour ago.

Past continious/past progressive
when something is done in the past, it's over now. You were doing it, the focuss is on the activity.

Present perfect - have + volt dw.
The action started in the past but it still influences this moment.
Example: I have lived in Amsterdam for 5 years now.
               I have been living in Amsterdam for 5 years now.
               I have worked in France for 5 years.
               I have been working in France for 5 years.

Past perfect
When something happend in the past and than something else happend, also in the past but not as long ago.

Always in combination with the past continious or the past simple
