The fourth unit spoke about present tenses, covering the form, usages, typical student errors and activate stage teaching ideas. The present tenses are composed by four forms: present simple, present continuous, present perfect and present perfect continuous. The present simple is used to habitual or routine actions, permanent situations and facts, commentaries, directions and instructions, newspaper headlines, present stories and historical sequence. The present continuous is used to talk about an action that is in progress at the time of speaking, to 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, describe developing situations and refer to a regular action around a point of time. The present perfect is used when talk about finished actions/states that happened at an indefinite time; when thinking about completed past actions carried out in an unfinished time period at the time of speaking; when talk about something which began in the past and is still true now, at the time of speaking, without knowing if this is likely to continue or not; and when describing past actions with present results. The present perfect continuous is used to communicate an incomplete and ongoing activity, when we want to say how long it has continued; and to describe a recently finished, uninterrupted activity which has a present result.
