Here's an example sentence in few of the tenses :

Present tense: "Ich trinke eine Tasse Tee." (I drink a cup of tea.)

Past tense: "Ich trank eine Tasse Tee." (I drank a cup of tea.)

Future tense: "Ich werde eine Tasse Tee trinken." (I will drink a cup of tea.)

Subjunctive mood: "Es sei denn, ich trinke eine Tasse Tee." (Unless I drink a cup of tea.)

Present perfect: "Ich habe eine Tasse Tee getrunken" (I have drunk a cup of tea)

Past perfect: "Ich hatte eine Tasse Tee getrunken" (I had drunk a cup of tea)

Future perfect: "Ich werde eine Tasse Tee getrunken haben" (I will have drunk a cup of tea)

Conditional: "Ich würde eine Tasse Tee trinken" (I would drink a cup of tea)

As you can see, the verb "trinken" (to drink) changes in each tense to indicate the time of the action, And yes, there are other tenses than this. Lol.

Next up, verbs. German verbs can change based on the subject and the tense. It's like a game of Tetris, trying to fit the right verb form into the sentence.

Nominative: "Ich liebe." (I love)

Accusative: "Ich liebe dich." (I love you.)

Dative: "Ich schenke dir meine Liebe." (I give you my love.)

Genitive: "Ich denke an die Liebe, die ich für dich empfinde." (I think about the love that I have for you.)

German nouns have different cases: nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. Each case has its own set of rules and uses
