This unit was one of the most difficult for me. As a native speaker, I use the four present tenses regularly in my speaking, without recognizing the names behind them. The applications of these tenses come naturally to me, and I had to often refer back to the packet to correctly identify each tense. Present simple is used for routines, facts, directions, historical sequences, etc. This is the easiest tense for English language learners. Present continuous has the auxiliary verb “be” with the present participle (a verb ending in –ing). Present perfect relates the past to the present and uses the auxiliary verb “have” with the past participle. Present perfect continuous also relates the past to the present, but focuses on the action, rather than the end result. The action is still happening. This unit not only strengthened my understanding of the four present tenses, but challenged me to understand and decompose sentences to understand their form, usage, and meaning. It allowed me to view this through the eyes of an English language learner, and understand how frustrating it may be to understand and dissect four tenses that happen in the present.
