10 Present Tense Examples

Maya204

In grammar, tense is the time of a verb's action or state of being. There are three main tenses in English – past, present, and future – and each has a perfect form, indicating completed action; an imperfect form, indicating ongoing or incomplete action; and a progressive form, indicating ongoing action in the present, past, or future.

Here are 10 examples of present tense:

I am watching TV.
You are studying for your test.
He is playing video games.
She is cooking dinner.
It is raining outside.
We are having a party.
They are watching a movie.
I am going to the store.
