Help me write my thesis! I need more of those verbs used to quote or paraphrase an author. (For example: writes, suggests, found, explains.) I'm writing in spanish, but english is ok and I'll translate later.

Explain tenses to me? Past/present/future, continuous/simple/perfect, and so on, in English. I can use them with fluency, but I need to be able to explain them (when each is used, how to form them). I've tried Fowler's, Chicago Manual of Style, and a number of other resources, but they seem to subtly contradict one another. Is there a simple, go-to reference for this?
