Lesson no 8 - I think the previous lesson scared many people because i saw not much of replies :)
Anyway, the verbs 'είμαι' (to be ) and 'έχω' (to have ), which are most important in English and many languages, are widely used in Greek to form tenses (mainly perfect tenses). Following is the complete list of verb forms for these two auxiliary verbs.

.......................ACTIVE VOICE
............Indicative .....................Subjunctive
Person..Present..Imperfect..Dur. Future....Present
1st si. είμαι.....ήμουν.......θα είμαι.....να είμαι
2nd si. είσαι.....ήσουν.......θα είσαι.....να είσαι
3rd si. είναι.....ήταν........θα είναι.....να είναι
1st pl. είμαστε...ήμασταν.....θα είμαστε...να είμαστε
2nd pl. είστε.....ήσασταν.....θα είστε.....να είστε
3rd pl. είναι.....ήταν........θα είναι.....να είναι


.........................ACTIVE VOICE
.........Indicative ...........................Subjunctive
Person..Present..Imperfect..Dur. Future....Present
1st si. έχω.......είχα........θα έχω........να έχω
2nd si. έχεις.....είχες.......θα έχεις......να έχεις
3rd si. έχει......είχε........θα έχει.......να έχει
1st pl. έχουμε....είχαμε......θα έχουμε.....να έχουμε
2nd pl. έχετε.....είχατε......θα έχετε......να έχετε
3rd pl. έχουν.....είχαν ......θα έχουν......να έχουν

I hope it is not too difficult. Next lesson will be to form small phrases with the use of these two verbs. You can also try here to form your own sentences.
