⏰ Present Tenses
📚 What are Present Tenses?
Present tenses describe actions, states, or situations that are happening now, happen regularly, or have a connection to the present moment. English has four present tenses, each with a specific purpose:
Simple Present: For habits, facts, and general truths
Present Continuous: For actions happening right now or temporary situations
Present Perfect: For completed actions with present relevance or life experiences
Present Perfect Continuous: For ongoing actions that started in the past and continue to now
Understanding when to use each present tense is key to expressing yourself clearly and naturally in English.
