This lesson has taught me about the 4 present tenses in the English language: present simple, present continuous, present perfect and present continuous. Each tense has a different usage, and in order to use a tense correctly you must learn the structure of the tense and also be familiar with different verbs and their conjugations, including auxiliary verbs like have and been, and irregular verbs like know and be. Present Simple tense is good to express habits, routines, general facts and truths. The structure consists of the subject followed by the base verb. To form a negative sentence place the verb do (or its conjugation does) and not in between the subject and the verb. Example: I do not eat cheese. To for a question simply invert the subject and the auxiliary verb. Present continuous tense expresses actions in progress at or around the time of speaking. The structure consists of the subject, the verb 'to be', and the main verb plus -ing. To form a negative sentence ass the word 'not' between the auxiliary verb 'to be' and the main verb. To form a question invert the auxiliary verb and subject. Present continuous tense is a visual tense and describes actions taking place at the present moment. Present Perfect tense expresses indefinite past actions and unfinished past actions. The structure consists of the subject, the auxiliary verb 'to have', and the past participle. To make a past participle ad -ed to a regular verb, add -ied to verbs ending in a consonant plus -y, or learn the irregular verbs. To make a present perfect tense negative ass 'not' between the auxiliary verb and past participle. To make a question invert subject and auxiliary very. Lastly, the Present Perfect Continuous tense expresses indefinite past actions and unfinished past actions like the Present Perfect but it focuses more on the actions. It's also used to express incomplete and ongoing activities with duration, and recently finished activities with present results. The structure consists of the subject, the auxiliary verbs 'have/has' and 'been', and the main verb plus -ing. To make it a negative sentence add 'not' between the auxiliary verbs. To make the sentence a question place auxiliary verb 'have/has' before subject. State verbs like know, be, appear and seem are NOT for the PPC form. They are good for the PP form. The structure of a sentence dictates the tense.
