Простое настоящее время (Simple Present) используется для обозначения действий, которые происходят регулярно или являются общеизвестными фактами. Оно описывает привычки, расписания и установленные истины. Наиболее часто к нему обращаются когда говорят о графиках работы, распорядке дня или законах природы.
Продолженное настоящее совершённое время (Present Perfect Progressive), также известное как Present Perfect Continuous, описывает действие, которое началось в прошлом и продолжается в настоящем или только что завершилось, оставив видимый результат. Это время подчёркивает продолжительность или процесс действия.
