 Introduction
If you want to write a precise sentence or want to say anything to someone, you
need to express your ideas in the correct tense form. Tenses form the backbone of
the English language. The most appropriate tense must be used to express an
idea, otherwise the sentence/question will express something that is the opposite
of what you intend to state or write.
 Body (sentences)

Fifteen sentences in the present tense and fifteen in the present perfect
progressive tense describing some experiences, actions, and situations that have
affected or been affecting your educational and professional life. You have to write
thirty sentences in total. Ten in affirmative form, ten in negative form and ten in
interrogative form.

Affirmative form
1. I always wake up early to go to school even though I completely hate the
early mornings schedules.
2. I ask questions frequently in class now after the pandemic.
3. The teacher is nice to everyone, it makes me feel super good.
4. We help each other in class in comparison to other classmates I had before.
5. We do group revision that helps me understand better.
6. The school has been making renovations because the structure has been
affecting students.
7. I have been making good friends even though I have an awful social
anxiety.

9. Has she been feeling comfortable with who I am and what have I

 Conclusion

The present tense is used to express events that happen daily and using it helps to
be more direct and to get the point across easily and the present perfect is a
grammatical combination of the present tense and the perfect that is used to
express a past event that has present consequences. By doing these sentences I
was able to think about the situations that have affected me personally and I
practiced expressing them in the specific tenses.
