 ===Tenses===
+Bearlandic has two simple tenses, two perfect tenses and two future tenses.
 ====Formation====
+The formation of the present and the simple past is described above. The remaining four tenses are all formed periphrastically.
+The perfect tenses are formed using the perfect form and an auxiliary, which depending on the verb can be either ''heppt'' or ''iss''. As a general rule, intransitive verbs use ''iss'', whereas transitive and impersonal verbs all use ''heppt''. The present perfect uses the present of the auxiliary, while the past perfect uses the past.
+''Ig '''heppt''' a appoll '''giotē'''.''<br>
+I '''have eaten''' an apple.
+''Dē mann '''iss gilopt'''.''<br>
+The man '''has walked'''.
+''Dē '''heppt gisniwwt'''.''<br>
+It '''has snowed'''.
+Modal verbs take the same auxiliary as the main verb. The modal is put in the perfect form, while the main verb is put in the infinitive and preceded by ''oss''.
+''Ig '''heppt gikusst''' oss ytē.''<br>
+I '''have been able''' to eat.
+''Dē mann '''iss gikusst''' oss lopē.''<br>
+The man '''has been able''' to walk.
+The prase ''dē zyt'' "there is" becomes ''dē zyt giasst'' in the present perfect.
+''Dē '''zyt''' a pegging '''giasst'''.''<br>
+There '''has been''' an accident.
+The verb ''zʉll'' and its past form ''zʉllti'' are used to form the future and the future past respectively.
+''Ig '''zʉll ytē'''.''<br>
+I '''will eat'''.
