English grammar has been confusing me for a long time, so I want to ask some questions about the past and how you use it. I'm more interested in information about British English.

When and how do you use, for example:
haven't felt,
hadn't felt,
felt,
wasn't feeling,
has been feeling,
used to feel.

and what's the difference between them?

I kind of understand the difference, but not sure if I do it correctly.

  • Unfortunately, your question is too broad for this site. I think that a good pedagogical grammar book for English language learners is the best place to find answers about the contexts in which the various past tense forms are used.
