Simple Present

Form: Use the base form of a verb, adding an /s/ to the end of the verb if the subject is singular. (Unless the verb is irregular, in which case other rules may apply.) Uses: Use 1: Actions that are habitual or routine EXAMPLES: The sun rises. I brush my teeth twice a day. Use 2: General, timeless facts EXAMPLES: Spiders make webs. Babies drink milk. Use 3: Narrative style (used when recalling past events or announcing things that are happening in the moment) EXAMPLES: So I go to the store yesterday, and the clerk says “We’re closed!” He hits the baseball out of the field and makes a home run! Use 4: The “real” present (things that are happening right now), but ONLY when the verb is stative. Stative verbs* deal with the way the subject is, instead of what the subject does. EXAMPLES: That car looks old. They think that’s a bad idea.

Present Continuous

Form: The present tense of “to be” (am/is/are)+ verb + ing Uses: Use 1: The “real” present (things that are happening right now), for all verbs except stative verbs EXAMPLES: I am sitting down right now. He can’t come to the phone because he is working. You can’t see the children because they are hiding. Use 2: Temporary actions that may not be happening right now, but have not yet been completed EXAMPLES: I am taking an English course. The truck is being repaired. Plans are being made.

1. I am on the journey of becoming a very successful student. 2. I am advancing to new levels by learning more each day. 3. It is possible for me to achieve all my goals because my true potential is limitless.

Present Perfect

Form: Have or has + past form of a verb Uses: Use 1: Actions that started in the past, continue into the present, and may continue into the future EXAMPLES: The children have felt sick ever since they ate lunch. My neighbor has lived next door to me for two years. Use 2: Separate actions that happened in the past and may happen again in the future EXAMPLES: That man has traveled overseas several times. We have eaten at that restaurant once or twice. Use 3: Recently completed actions that still influence things happening in the present EXAMPLES: The sun has risen and you need to wake up. They have finished their meeting, so now they can go.

Present Perfect Continuous

Form: Have or has + been + verb + ing Uses: Use 1: Actions that started in the past, continue into the present, and may continue into the future (note that this is the exact same use and meaning as Use 1 of present perfect) EXAMPLES: The children have been feeling sick ever since they ate lunch. My neighbor has been living next door to me for two years.
