This unit was about the four different types of present tenses in English. I learned about the present simple, present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous tenses. I was surprised to learn that there were four present tenses in English. Especially since the present perfect and perfect continuous refer to actions in the past, I had never thought of them as being present. Now I realize that they relate past actions to the present moment. I can see how learning all of these and the situations in which one should use each would be very confusing to a student, especially since non-progressive verbs don't take continuous tenses.
