• I keep thinking about all the things that I would change

  ➔ Present continuous with a gerund (keep + verb‑ing)

  ➔ The phrase "keep "thinking"" uses the verb "keep" followed by a gerund to show a repeated or continuous action.

• There’s always hope that one day somehow you will find it again

  ➔ Future simple with "will" in a noun clause

  ➔ The word "will" marks a definite future action: "you "will" find it again".

• I know time waits for no man

  ➔ Simple present for general truths

  ➔ "waits" is in the simple present to state a timeless fact: "time "waits" for no man".

• Would you still be leaving?

  ➔ Modal "would" + progressive aspect (be + verb‑ing) for hypothetical present/future

  ➔ "Would" introduces a tentative question; "be leaving" (progressive) shows an ongoing action in that imagined situation.
