Note 1: In contrast to English there are no emphatic or progressive forms in German. Therefore, the English forms, I go, I do go, I am going are all translated as ich gehe. (Past tenses see p.47)

Note 2: conditional and conditional Perfect have a special form, but some grammar books don't treat them as separate tenses.
