operating system environment confusion

I am always confused with the following terms and their meanings pertaining to Linux operating system:
  1. Time shared systems
  2. multiprogramming system
  3. multiuser system
  4. multitasking system
What is the dividing line between their meaning?

Can you explain with some sort of analogy?
I always get these terms wrong.
