The simple present is a verb tense whit two main uses. We use the simple present
tense when an action is happening right now,or when it happens regularly(or
unceasingly,which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on
the present, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by
adding? S or? es to the end

B. Past Perfect Continuous Tense

The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense)
shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the
past. The past perfect continuous tense is contructed using had been + the verb’s
present participle (root + -ing)

C. FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE

The future continuous tense , sometimes also referred to as the future progressive
tense,is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and
continue for an expected length of time. It is formed using the construction
