  • Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

Present Continuous Tense

The present continuous tense is used to describe actions, events, or states that are happening now or that are in progress. It is also used to describe temporary situations or actions that are planned for the near future.

  • They are building a new house.

Present Perfect Tense

The present perfect tense is used to describe actions, events, or states that started in the past and continue up to the present. It is also used to describe actions or events that happened at an unspecified time in the past.
