7. Telling Activities in Relation with the Time: Present Continuous Tense, Present
Perfect Tense, and Present Perfect
1. It is very cold now. She is wearing her coat now. (Present Continuous
Tense)
I use the present continuous tense because she started wearing the coat now
due to the current coldness. The action is ongoing.
2. Listen! There is someone knocking at the door. (Present Tense)
Here, the present tense works best. The knocking is happening right now, a
single action in the present moment.
3. He has played badminton for ten years. (Present Perfect Tense)
The present perfect tense is ideal for this sentence. It describes an action that
started in the past (ten years ago) and is completed, but might have an
impact on the present (his skills perhaps).
4. I have been looking at this picture for five minutes. (Present Perfect
Continuous Tense)
This is a perfect example of the present perfect continuous. The action of
looking started in the past (five minutes ago) and continues up to the present
moment.
 5. I am learning English now. I have been learning English since
September. (Present Continuous and Present Perfect Continuous)
This combines two tenses. You are currently learning English (present
continuous), but you also started learning back in September (present perfect
continuous) and haven't stopped.
6. I smell something burning. Someone has been cooking. (Present Perfect
Continuous Tense)
