A. Use present simple for routines, habits, or things that are always true. - He takes the subway. (every day) B. Use present progressive (is/are -ing) for a temporary routine or situation. - He is taking the subway. (now) C. Use present perfect (have/has -ed) for a situation where things that happened in the past have a result in the present. - Present perfect often goes with just, yet, for, since, ever, never, first time, second time, this week. - He has just cut himself. (We can see the direct immediate result of this action — the blood.) |
