Past tenses can be mixed us for students especially when including present simple and present continuous forms. Present simple is used for facts, promises, predictions with no evidence, assumptions, spontaneous decisions and threats. Future continuous is used for saying something will be in progress at a certain time in the future, to say what you think will be happening at a certain time, for polite questions where you don't want to influence the outcome and to refer to future events that are decided. Future perfect is used to say something will be done by a certain future time. Future perfect continuous is used to tell how long something will have continued by a certain time. Be going + infinitive tense is used for intentions, predictions based on evidence and plans. Present simple for the past is used for suggesting a formal situation, timetables and schedules as well as suggest a more impersonal tone. Present continuous for the past is used for definite arrangements and decisions without a time frame. Some of these are used for similar but not the same situations such as predicting with or without evidence and so should be taught clearly to explain differences.
