Linguists argue that there are really only two tenses: past and present. However, practically, there are twelve: past, present, future, which each can be in the simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous forms. Present simple is used for habits, routines, permanent situation or facts, directions, newspaper headlines, present stories, or historical sequences. For examples, \"Melissa wakes up late most mornings.\" Present continuous is used for actions in progress at the time of speaking, temporary actions not necessarily in progress at the time of speaking, emphasizing very frequent actions, background events in a present story, describing developing situations, and referring to regular action around a point in time. For example, \"I am writing this reflection.\" Most non-action verbs are not used in this form. Instead, they are used in the simple form. For example, \"I love anime.\" Present perfect is used when talking about finished actions or states that happened at an indefinite time, thinking about completed past actions unfinished at the time of speaking, talking about something in the past that is still true, and when describing past actions with present results. For example, \"I have been to India.\" \"Since\" is used when indicating a point in time, and \"for\" is used for indicating a period of time. \"Been\" is used if you are no longer at the place, while \"gone\" is used if you are still at the place. Unfortunately, they're are many irregular forms. Present perfect continuous is used when communicating an incomplete and ongoing activity and when describing a recently finished, uninterrupted activity with a present result. Unlike past perfect which focuses on what has been done, present perfect continuous focuses on the action or activity.
