Present simple is used to talk about habits and facts. present continuouse talk about things which are happening how. they are more short termI don't usually have cereals for breakfast but I'm having some this morning because there is nothing else.

Both the past simple and the past continuous refer to completed actions in the past. Most of the time when we are talking about such actions, we use the past simple. This is by far the most common way of talking about the past.I lived there for six yearsOnly use the past continuous when you want to emphasize the continuity of the action.I was thinking about you the other day. When we use these two forms in the same sentence, we use the past continuous to talk about the "background action" and the past simple to talk about the shorter completed action. It was raining hard when we left the building.

Often there is very little difference between the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous. In many cases, both are equally acceptable.To emphasize the action, we use the continuous form.We've been working really hard for a couple of months. She's been having a hard time.To emphasize the result of the action, we use the simple form.I've made fifteen phone calls this morning. He's written a very good report.When an action is finished and you can see the results, use the continuous form. •The phone bill is enormous. You've been calling your boyfriend in Australia, haven't you? •You're red in the face. Have you been running? When you use the words 'ever' or 'never', use the simple form. •I don't know them. I've never met them. •Have you ever heard anything so strange in your life.

The past simple is used to talk about actions in the past that have finished. It talks about 'then' and definitely excludes 'now'. The present perfect simple to look back on actions in the past from the present. It always includes 'now'.We use time expressions like 'yesterday', 'ago', 'last year', 'in 1999' with the past simple. •We spoke to him yesterdayWe use time expressions like are 'ever', 'never', 'since' with the present perfect. •I've never seen so many people here before.

We can replace 'going to go' by 'going'. •I'm going out later. •She's going to the exhibition tomorrow
