The Present Perfect tense is used to describe actions or events that started in the past and
continue up to the present moment or have just been completed. It is often used to express
experiences, changes, or results that have a connection to the present. For example, "I have
studied English for five years." The Present Perfect Continuous tense, on the other hand, is used

studying English for five years."

past. It is often used to show the sequence of events in the past. For example, "I had finished my
homework before my friends arrived." The Past Perfect Continuous tense, on the other hand, is
used to describe an action that started in the past and continued up to a point in the past. It is
often used to emphasize the duration of an action that was interrupted by another event. For
example, "I had been studying English for two hours when my friend called."

4. The Present Simple tense is used to describe a habitual or repeated action, a general truth or
fact, or a future event that is scheduled or timetabled. For example, "I go to the gym every day."
The Present Continuous tense, on the other hand, is used to describe an action that is in
progress at the moment of speaking or a temporary situation. For example, "I am exercising
right now."

rather than an action. They are not usually used in the Present Continuous tense. For example, "I believe
in myself."

8. Direct speech refers to the reporting of someone's exact words, while indirect speech refers to
reporting someone's words in a more summarized or paraphrased form. Direct speech is often
introduced by a reporting verb such as "said" or "asked," while indirect speech requires a
change in tense and pronouns. For example, Direct: "I am going to the store," said Tom. Indirect:
Tom said that he was going to the store.
