With a lot of practice and learning with your mistakes. It's hard but not impossible thing to do, just like I said takes a lot of practice and dedication.
I admit that I forget about these many many times, heh. Sometimes this and portuguese grammar gets mixed up while I write, opps. XD
But I am certainly working on it!

No, but this is really good stuff. I've known plenty of people who get their tenses mixed up. If this helps even one of them, it helps my sanity immensely.
Hee, I did a tense workshop a while back, I think. But it's one of those ones that are so worth reviewing, so I won't hold it against ya! XD And I think you put it better, anyway.
Dang, it's nice to have been raised speaking English. Much easier to simply have it click with understanding than to somehow try and learn all this. How can any non-native speaker ever become fluent?? O.o
Quote of the Week - Shoot. I'm too lazy to find one.
I get these mixed up. Most of the time I do alright but every now and then, I'll read something and go... eehhh? So a review on it is always useful. ^_^
My common mistake in connection with tensing is more on the continuity... like somewhere along the line, I would have inadvertently switched to a present tense, even though I am telling the story in the past.
Seems more of a practice issue, rather than knowledge base. I don't know...
It's great to have a different perspective at these grammar rules, rather than the one I remember where they cram your head with all the terms not really saying what it was for. Maybe they did say what it was, though not much in an understandable language that a common student might get.

Good stuff, except...

They never will.

See, I thought you had but I couldn't remember.
I probably just wanted an excuse to mention the pluperfect tense.
