This unit begins the examination of the English tense system with a look at the present tenses, namely simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous, as well as their forms, usages and teaching methods. The present simple tense has its affirmative form as subject + verb base form (+ s/es in the case of a third person singular subject),such as \"The chicken flies\"; its negative form as subject + the auxiliary verb \"do/does\" + not + the verb base form, eg. \"They do not despise each other\"; and its question form as do/does + subject + verb base form, eg. \"Do elephants remember?\" It is used to express habits and routines, facts and permanent states, directions and instructions, and commentaries etc. Next is the present continuous or present progressive tense. Its affirmative form is subject + am/is/are + verb present participle, eg. \"We are singing at the speed of sound!\" Its negative form adds the adverb not before the present participle, eg. \"He is not chopping cantaloupes\" while its question form inverts the subject and auxiliary \"be\" verb, eg. \"Am I monologuing?\" It is used to express actions progressing at the time of speech, developing actions, or temporary actions not happening at the time of speech etc. The present perfect tense has its affirmative as subject + auxiliary verb \"have\" + verb past participle (-ed), eg. \"I have swept and mopped the hall\". Its negative places the adverb \"not\" between the auxiliary verb and the past participle, eg. \"You haven't eaten all\
