No estudo do inglês, é fundamental conhecer bem os tempos verbais para se comunicar de forma clara e adequada. Entre esses tempos, temos o Simple Present e o Present Perfect Progressive. O Simple Present é usado para expressar ações habituais, fatos gerais ou situações permanentes, enquanto o Present Perfect Progressive é utilizado para indicar uma ação que começou no passado e ainda continua ou que terminou recentemente, mas cujo efeito ainda é sentido no presente. Entender a diferença entre esses dois tempos verbais e saber quando usá-los corretamente é essencial para a fluência no idioma.
Estes exercícios são concebidos para ajudar os estudantes a praticar a aplicação do Simple Present e do Present Perfect Progressive em frases. Os alunos deverão preencher as lacunas com a forma correta do verbo, prestando atenção ao contexto da frase para decidir qual tempo verbal é o mais apropriado. Vamos praticar e aprimorar seu conhecimento de gramática inglesa com os seguintes exercícios.
