 DEVELOPE

PRESENT PROGRESSIVE:

The Present Continuous or Present Progressive is a verb tense that is

used to express actions that happen at the same moment in which one
is speaking, for example:
I am speaking English. I am speaking English. (It's happening now).
You are reading a book. You are reading a book.
I'm studying the lesson. He is studying the lesson.
She is buying a hat. She is buying a hat.
It is raining. It's raining.
We are sleeping. We are sleeping.
You are dancing in the street. You are dancing in the street.
They are walking in the park. They are walking in the park.

Wh Questions:

wh Questions: what
The particle "what" is one of those so-called "WH questions" and
translated into Spanish corresponds to the "qué" interrogative, although
sometimes it also functions as "what / type".
Examples:
What's your name?
What did you do yesterday night?
What are you thinking?
WH QUESTIONS: WHICH

To ask questions that we would translate for "cuál?, In English we have

the interrogative" which. "This WH question is used to refer to certain
objects, among which one must choose.

Examples:
Which is the cheapest one?
Which is your sister?
Which dress are you going to dress?
Questions WH: who
When asking about people, we should use the English interrogatory
particle "who", which is equivalent to the Spanish "quien".
Examples:
Who is that woman?
Who did you see in Peru?
WH questions: when
It is used to ask about about time is "when". In this way, we can
translate it as "when" and the response will indicate a moment in time.
Examples:
When did you arrive?
When are you going to study?

WH questions: where
If what we want is to ask in English about place, we should use the
interrogative formula "where", that is, the one corresponding to the
Spanish term "Donde".
PRESENT PERFECT

EXPLANATION
The present perfect tense refers to an action or state that either
occurred at an indefinite time in the past (e.g., we have talked before)
or began in the past and continued to the present time (e.g., he has
grown impatient over the last hour).
STRUCTURE

The construction of this verbe tense is straightforward. The first element

is have or has, depending on the subject the verb is conjugated with.
The second element is the past participle of the verb, which is usually
formed by adding -ed or -d to the verb’s
This tense is formed by have/has + the past participle.
EXAMPLES
These examples show how the present perfect can describe something
that occurred or was the state of things at an unspecified time in the
past.
I have walked on this path before.
We have eaten the lasagna here.
You can use the present perfect to talk about the duration of something
that started in the past is still happening.
