How many tenses are there in the English language? 🧐

Quite often hear from speakers of the Great and Mighty " English is so difficult! It has so many tenses, unlike Japanese." We are used to the fact that there should be two tenses in the language. Indeed, it is more than logical. Past, present - future. Could it be something else? It is this information that usually frightens and, at times, completely discourages the desire to learn a language.
