Present simple
The document discusses the simple present and present continuous tenses in English. The simple present is used to describe habitual or repeated actions, such as "I wake up at 7am every day." It is formed by adding "s" to the verb for third person singular subjects. The present continuous (be + verb + ing) describes actions happening now, such as "I am waiting for the bus." It is used to talk about temporary actions in progress. Examples are provided to illustrate the use of these tenses in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.
