How do the tenses and aspects in English correspond temporally to one another?

Technically there are only two tenses in the English language. The Past tense and the Present tense. The future isn't a tense because it has yet to happen, thus it is time that may never happen and is bound to change. Aspects however can apply to tenses such as the progressive aspect (more commonly known as the continuous) or the perfect aspect. Thus in combination of both tense and aspect, we get an understanding of the temporal occurrences of activities.

Answer: Every summer, my dad teaches a science class about Sea Turtles in the Atlantic Ocean

Explanation:

The word every should be capitalized because it is the first word in the sentence and the first word is always capitalized.

Dad should not be capitalized as it comes after a possessive pronoun being my.

Sea Turtles as well as the Atlantic Ocean should be capitalized as you are referring to them directly.
