Dear friend, There is no huge difference between present & past. I will try that you could understand
Present tense
Ravi is a bus driver. But now he is asleep is bed. So He is not driving a bus (he is asleep 0
But: he drives a bus. This is the simple present tense
I/we/you/they drive He she it drives (s or es) Doctors take care of patients in hospital. In India/ Pakistan most stores close at 6:00 p.m I work in a cellular industry. Alen works in English institution
What does this word mean? How often do you go to the dentist? Alen usually plays football twice a week in a summer. Where do you come from? He comes from Pakistan.
Past tense
Torsten: look it is raining again. Alen: oh no, not again. It rained all day yesterday too.
Rained is the simpler past tense. We use the simple past to about actions or situations in the past.They enjoyed the party very much. He played well yesterday. We invited them to our party, but they decided not to come. The police stopped me on my way home last night. He passed his exam because she studied very hard. Did you go out last night miskhan for walking? Miskhan yes, I went to the walk. But I did not enjoy it.
Hopefully you got your answer difference between past and present. In the next mail I am sending you the sentences about past and present.
Take care Khan |

Hi Epelina,
You want to ask the perfect tense. please read the situation.
Mr. Khan is looking for his book. He cannot find it. He has lost his book.
“He has lost his book” means that he lost it a short time ago and he still does not have it. This is present perfect.
He/she/it has with third form I /we/you/they have with third form
I have lost my book. Miskhan has gone to Canada. He has gone. They have already purchased many books in the book shop. she has written a letter. have you just arrived? .
I hope you got your answer.

Could you continue the tenses please?
Best regards, Coconut. |
hi friend, I think you wanted to know the continue tense.
Miskhan is in her car. she is on her way to work. she is driving to work. this meaning : she is driving now, at the time of speaking . this is present continue tense: I am = I'm with ing he/she/it = he's etc with ing we/they/you = we're with ing
please do not make so much noise. I'm studying. Where is khan. He is taking a bath. hellow miskhan are you enjoying the party. MISKHAN is studying English at a language school. Torsten say : alen and tom are talking and having coffee in a cafe.
have a nice day khan |
