• Present Simple: Understand how to use the Present Simple to describe actions that happen regularly, habitually, or are generally true. It's perfect for talking about routines, schedules, habits, and general facts. This tense denotes actions happening in the present, but not necessarily at the exact moment of speaking.

• Present Continuous: Learn when to use the Present Continuous to emphasize actions happening right now. Whether the action is ongoing indefinitely or taking place over a specific period, the Present Continuous is your go-to tense.

• Present Perfect: Grasp the Present Perfect to describe actions completed before now or actions that started in the past and have a result in the present. While often translated into the past in Russian, remember that in English, these actions are viewed in relation to the present result.

• Present Perfect Continuous: Discover the Present Perfect Continuous tense, used to describe actions that began in the past, continued for a period of time, and either finished just before the present or are still ongoing.
