İngilizcede Intermediate ( orta , Cambridge B1 ) seviyede bütün kalıpların paragraf veya cümle örnekleri aşağıdadır. Şunu hatırlatmakta fayda var; tabii ki İngilizce öğrenirken tense'lerin ismi üzerinde çok durulmaması gerektiğine inanıyoruz. Bizim " tense-zaman" ismi belirtmemiz, verilen örneklerle bir bağlantı kurulmasına yardımcı olunması içindir. Kısaca, "tense" isminden ziyade örnekler üzerinde yoğunlaşılırsa daha pekiştirici olacaktır.
