English has 3 tenses: past, present and future. Each tense has 3 aspects: simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continous. Out of this I got a clear overview of the different aspects of the present tense and in what situations to use which aspect. I will sum up all of this, so I have it all nicely together Present simple: the basic form of the verb; used for: habitual/routine actions; permanent situations and facts; commentaries; directions and instructions; newspaper headlines; present stories; historical sequence Present continuous: uses the -ing suffix; used for: talk about an action that's in progress at the time of speaking; talk about a temporary action that is not necessarily in progress at the time of speaking; to emphasize very frequent actions; background events in a present story; to describe developing situations; to refer to a regular action around a point of time Present perfect: uses the simple form for the main verb in combination with have; used for: finished actions/states that happened at an indefinite time; completed past actions carried out carried out in an unfinished time period at the time of speaking; something that began in the past and is still true now; past actions with present results Present perfect continious: uses the -ing suffix on the main verb in combination with have been; used for: incomplete and ongoing activities, when wanting to say how long it has continued; to describe a finished, uninterrupted activity with a present result
