Present Simple Tense:
Present Simple: frequency adverbs: always, often, sometimes, usually, rarely, hardly ever, never, once/twice/three times a week/a month/a year, frequently, generally, habitually, occasionally
- I often go to the cinema on Fridays.
- I never buy in this store.
- He habitually invites his friends over for dinner.
Past Simple Tense:
Past Simple: yesterday, last (Friday/week/month/year), days (weeks/months) ago, in (month/year/century), etc.
- I went to the cinema last Friday.
- You bought it in this shop in February.
- He invited his friends over three months ago.
Present Continuous Tense:
Present Continuous: now, at this moment, today, currently, this week (month/year)
- I’m going to the cinema now.
- Are you buying the car this week?
- He’s inviting his friends over for lunch today.
Future Simple Tense:
Future Simple: tomorrow, next week (month/year)
- I’ll go tomorrow, I promise.
- I’ll buy this car next week.
- He’ll invite them tomorrow, I’m sure.
Present Perfect Tense:
Present Perfect: for, since, just, already, yet, never, ever.
- I’ve already been to the cinema to see this film.
- Have you bought the car yet?
- I have never invited my friends over to my house.
Native speakers sometimes omit expressions indicating time (if the context is clear) because the tense form itself shows general information about the time of the action.
For example, these sentences have practically the same meaning:
- I buy bread in this store. (usually)— I usually buy bread in this store.
- She’s watching TV. (now) —-She’s watching TV now.
- He has left. (already) —-He has already left.
However, as a language learner, you should make a clear connection between the tense and its adverbs of time. With time, you will get better at understanding the connections between various tenses and time expressions.
