There are four present tense forms including the present simple form, the present continuous form, the present perfect form, and the present perfect continuous form. The present simple form is used for habitual or routine actions, permanent situations, facts, commentaries, directions, instructions, newspaper headlines, present stories, and historical sequences. Present continuous is used to talk about an action that is in progress, to talk about a temporary action that is not in progress at the time, to emphasize very frequent actions, to describe background events in a present story, to describe developing situations, and to refer to a regular action around a point of time. Present perfect is used for finished actions at indefinite times, completed actions carried out in unfinished time periods at the time of speaking, something that started and is still correct, to describe past actions with present results, since or with present perfect, gone or been, and the rule with gone or been. Lastly, present perfect continuous is used to communicate an incomplete and ongoing activity to say how long it has continued and to describe a recently finished, uninterrupted activity which has a present result. I never was conscious of these distinctions prior to reviewing this unit. I believe the past perfect and past perfect continuous are seldom used in everyday life compared to present simple and present continuous.
