What present tense topics are covered in this section?
This section covers 4 present tense topics with 240 exercises: Be, Have and Have Got (identity, possession, fixed expressions), Present Simple (habits, facts, routines), Present Continuous (actions happening now, temporary situations), and Present Simple or Continuous (choosing the right tense).
What is the difference between present simple and present continuous?
Present simple describes habits, routines, and permanent facts: 'I work in London', 'Water boils at 100°C'. Present continuous describes actions happening right now or temporary situations: 'I'm working from home today', 'She's staying with friends this week'. Some verbs (believe, know, want, like) are rarely used in the continuous form.
What order should I study present tenses in?
Start with Be, Have and Have Got — these are the most basic building blocks. Then study Present Simple for habits and facts, followed by Present Continuous for current actions. Finish with Present Simple or Continuous to master the distinction.
