It depends on what you are trying to say in total.
It depends on whether you find the fairly new structure of “I’, = -ing” acceptable.
It depends on whether you are writing formally or informally.

I can’t make it ‘crystal clear’ because your question isn’t precise enough. It is too wide-ranging to be able to provide one single answer which would be correct in every scenario.

Hi,

These verbs usually are used in the simple form but can also be used in the continuous form and suggest that the action is taking place as you speak.

‘I am remembering the accident now’ suggests that you are beginning to recall something.

‘I am forgetting things these days’ suggests that you are starting to forget things more than you used to.

‘I am imagining the scene now’ suggests that you are beginning to have a picture of the scene in your mind.

‘I am hating this drive’ indicates that you don’t like the car drive you are on at the moment.

Compare these with the above:

I remember that day when it happened very well.
I forget exactly when I last saw her - think it was two years ago.
I imagine that you are very good at chess.
I hate long journeys by car.

I googled and got good answers to your questions about tense.

There are TWO tenses in English language; present and past. There is no future tense. What is tense? Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary defines tense as: Any of the forms of a verb that may be used to show the time of the action or state expressed by the verb. Now what is time? Time is a universal concept with three divisions: present, past and future.

Strictly speaking there are only two tenses, but the idea of tense is usually extended to include aspect and voice.

Tenses: Present, Past.
Aspects: Simple, Perfect, Progressive, Perfect Progressive
Voices: Active, Passive

Each tense can be expressed in all four aspect possibilities, so there are 8 tenses, not considering voice. Each of these 8 can be expressed in two voices, so the total number of tenses (so far) is 16.

If we add combinations with the modals (will, would, can, could, …), the number of tenses increases considerably! Each modal can be used with the 4 aspects and 2 voices. Typically only the modal ‘will’ is included in the count (I don’t know why! ‘would’ seems equally useful, for example, in indicating time relationships.), so this adds 8 more tenses for a total of 24 tenses. If we extend the count by including the 8 tenses which can be formed with would, we have 32 tenses in all.

As far as I am concerned there is the past and the rest.
