Ich arbeite. - I work.

Expresses a continuous action which would require the continuous form in English.

Adding expressions like “gerade,” “Augenblick,” and “zur Zeit” can give a continuous meaning when paired with the present tense.

Expresses the future when there’s a future expression added to the verb

Ich arbeite morgen. - I’m going to work tomorrow.

In einer Woche arbeite ich. - In one week I’ll be working.

To express an action that started in the past but is still going on, often indicated by “schon” or “seit”

Ich arbeite seit gestern. - I’ve been working since yesterday.

The Imperfect/Simple Past - Präteritum

Not common in colloquial, spoken German.

Used in sentences where two actions in the past are united, typically when the clause begins with “als” or “wie”

Als ich die Tür öffnete, habe ich ihn gesehen. - When I opened the door I saw him.

With verbs of saying, hearing, feeling, and verbs such as sein, haben, bleiben, gehen, kommen, and stehen.

Ich war in Berlin. - I was in Berlin.

Er ging zur Schule. - He went to school.

The Perfect - Perfekt

Expresses an action in the past, especially in spoken German

Mein Sohn ist gestern nach Berlin gefahren. - My son went to Berlin yesterday.

To express a completed action for which no time frame is specified.

To express a continuous action.

Ich habe gearbeitet. - I have been working.

Why did I randomly start studying Polish today? I have no clue. Will it end up taking over my life causing me to neglect my other languages? Probably.
