Present Participle
Used to discuss action in progress:
formed with helping verb (to be) and present
participle (ending in -ing):
Ejemplos:

rather actions in the past of indefinite time. Sometimes,
these actions are still going on.
Created by fusion of a helping verb (have) with past
participle.

Latin and Ancient Greek.

Present Perfect vs. Past Simple
Difference between: I saw the movie (past simple) versus I
have seen the movie (present perfect).
Past simple=indicates single, completed action in the past.
Muy importante: always requires a time context (i.e.
yesterday, last week, this morning)
Present perfect=Does not matter when something
happened, but IF something happened. “Have you ever
seen Yoda in a forest?”

these two?
Present Perfect vs. Past Perfect
Both use the verb “have” and the past
participle.

occurs before the other in the past.
