Grammar Review
1. Simple Present
We use the simple present to talk about things that are generally true, regular activities, and our jobs and responsibilities.
Examples:
I work in the marketing department.
She manages a team of five people.
We have meetings every Monday.
He speaks three languages.
Remember: Use this tense to talk about what you normally do or what is generally true.
2. Present Continuous
We use the present continuous to talk about things happening right now or temporary activities happening around the present time.
Examples:
I am talking to a new colleague right now.
She is working on a new project this week.
We are preparing a presentation for tomorrow.
Remember: Use this tense for what is happening now or around now, rather than what you normally do.
3. Simple Past
We use the simple past to talk about finished actions or events in the past.
Examples:
I joined the company two years ago.
She worked in sales before she became a manager.
We had a meeting yesterday.
He studied business administration at university.
Remember: Use this tense for things that happened and are finished.
