Present tenses for advanced learners!

Hi,
If you think you know everything about present tenses, perhaps you should watch the following videos about ALL their uses.
Present Simple
Please, skip the 2 first minutes if you know how to form the present simple tense.

Did you remember all these uses of the present simple tense?
- Using the present simple to talk about regular actions.
- How to talk about general truths, states and situations using the present simple.
- How to describe long-lasting situations with the present simple.
- Using verbs of sensing, feeling, thinking or speaking with the present simple.
- How to use the present simple to tell jokes or stories in conversational English.
- Using the present simple in commentary, e.g. for a sports match.
- Using the present simple to talk about future schedules.

Present Continuous
Again, if you know how to form the present continuous you can skip the first minute and half (1.30 minutes).

 As you can see, apart from using the present continuous for expressing:
- that an action is going on
- or an arragement in the future,
you can also use it for expressing:
- disgusting repetition with the adequate adverb

Reglas ortográficas para la 3ª persona del singular
Como regla general, a la forma verbal de la 3ª persona del singular se le añade s; no obstante, existen unas cuantas reglas para una serie de formas verbales que son especiales:
1.- Cuando el verbo acaba ya en s, o en un sonido parecido como sh, ch o x:

watch -> watches (mirar) dash -> dashes (arrojar)

2.- Cuando el verbo acaba en o, también se añade es:

go -> goes (ir) do -> does (hacer)

3.- Cuando el verbo acaba en y, y a ésta le precede una consonante, tenemos que cambiar la y por i, para a continuación añadir es:

fly -> flies (volar)         study -> studies (estudiar)
