PRESENT SIMPLE-:
-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 person, the simple present tense is formed by using
the root form or by adding s or es to the end.
 EXAMPLES-
4

• The present tense is a verb tense that describes a current activity or state of being.
• For example: My parrot sings "The Sun Has Got Its Hat On" every morning.
(This is a current activity.)
• I am happy.
(This is a current state of being.)
Somewhat unusually, the present tense can also be used to describe past and future activities.
For example:
• I swim in the sea every Saturday.
(This is a current activity.)
• Aliens exist in outer space.
(This is a current state of being)
• The meeting ends at 6 o'clock.
(This is the present tense, but it describes a future activity. It happens with scheduled times.)
• A man walks into a bar. Ouch!
(This is the present tense, but it describes a past activity. This is rare. It sometimes happens when
telling stories or jokes.)

PRESENT
CONTINOUS TENSE-:
•The present progressive tense is used for an ongoing action in
the present. For example:
- John is baking a cake.
-They are painting the fence.
•Even though it is a present tense, the present progressive tense
can also be used to describe an activity that is going to happen
in the future (especially for planned activities).
•For example:
-We are moving to New Zealand in the summer.
-The train is arriving in 2 minutes.

TENSE-
• The present perfect tense is an English verb tense used to describe an action that
began in the past (despite being a present tense).
For example:
• John has taken Sarah's advice.
• They have fixed the fence.
• The present perfect tense is formed liked this:
[subject] + "has" or "have" + [past participle]
• Often, the action being described is still continuing into the present (e.g., John
continues to take Sarah's advice).
• This is how the present perfect tense differs from the simple past tense.
• The board has decided to uphold the appeal.
• (This sentence carries the connotation that the board continues to uphold the
appeal.)
• I have taken the wrong path.
(Connotation: I am still on the wrong path.)
