First conditional and future time clauses
This document discusses different types of conditional sentences and future time clauses in English. It explains that zero conditional sentences use the present simple to talk about things that are always true. First conditional sentences use the present simple in one clause and will or other modal verbs in the other clause to talk about possible future situations. Future time clauses use the present simple after words like when, as soon as, until, before, and after to refer to the future. Examples are provided to illustrate the different structures.
Present perfect simple and continuous

It also discusses using the present perfect continuous for actions that started in the past and continue to the present, or actions that have just finished but have present results. The key difference between the present perfect and present perfect continuous is that the present perfect emphasizes completion of an action while the continuous emphasizes the continuation of an action.

Gerundsvsinfitives

There are also cases where gerunds and infinitives can be interchangeable with little difference in meaning. Proper use depends on the specific verb and intended nuance. Both forms can take different tenses and voices.
