Exercise 1:
- Present perfect tense (have/has + past participle) is used to indicate actions that have been completed recently or have relevance to the present moment.
- Present perfect progressive tense (have/has been + present participle) is used to emphasize the duration of actions that started in the past and continue into the present.
- For sentences requiring the present perfect: The actions are completed and have relevance to the current situation, like 'have just finished' and 'have already prepared'.
- For sentences requiring the present perfect progressive: The emphasis is on the duration or continuity of the action, like 'have been learning' and 'have been waiting'.
Exercise 2:
- Simple present tense describes habitual actions, like 'use' and 'prepare'.
- Present progressive tense describes actions happening right now, like 'is raining'.
- Present perfect tense describes actions that have happened at some unspecified time and are relevant to the present, like 'have seen' and 'have written'.
- Present perfect progressive tense describes actions that started in the past and are still continuing, like 'have been playing'.
- Usage of these tenses is based on whether the action is habitual, ongoing, completed, or continues from the past up to the present.
