Answer 5

"Morphologically?" He must mean the form that the verb takes. Let's look at an example sentence: Were I a duck, I would fly out here quick. Were here must be the same as present or past tense model. I can only think of "Were you a duck? " That is past tense. Or maybe he is not talking about this at all. Or maybe he means that you form all other tenses using elements of the present and past tenses. So basically I would say that morphologically is the answer to your question. I suspect that you wanted to know a specific morphologically including the number of variations. But that is not what you asked at all. You just want the number of variations. Or do you want the names of all the tenses and examples of each -- someone has given you that. I am thinking there may others that you haven't heard of yet. I can think of pluperfect.
