Present Tense Formations and Usage

This page introduces fundamental present tense structures in English. The Present Simple tense formation follows subject + base verb pattern, used for habitual actions, scientific truths, and sports commentary. The Present Continuous combines subject + to be + verb-ing, expressing current or ongoing actions.

Definition: Present Simple expresses regular actions and universal truths while Present Continuous indicates actions happening at the moment of speaking.

Example: "I play tennis every Sunday" (Present Simple) vs. "I am playing tennis now" (Present Continuous)

Highlight: Present Continuous rarely works with stative verbs (believe, know, want)

Vocabulary: Time expressions like "always," "usually," and "at the moment" help indicate which tense to use
