I feel tired all the time. (Present simple) I'm always tired. I've been tired all day. I would tend more to pair 'feel' with 'sleepy' rather than tired and would 'be tired' With specific regard to PC: I'm feeling sleepy today It's the kind of thing that's difficult to explain, it's mostly intuition. |
ACTIVITY 1 Read example sentences and then decide which of the rules presented below is false. PRESENT PERFECT PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS I have been writing the report. RULE 1: We use the present perfect continuous when we are more interested in the activity itself and the present RULE 2: Only the present perfect continuous can be used for activities which are still happening. RULE 3: We can use the present perfect continuous for activities which have recently stopped. RULE 4: When we want to say about the quantity (how much / how many) we use the present perfect simple. |
