2) Complete the text with the correct present tense forms of the verbs. Sometimes more than one tense is possible.
We use the simple present:
- to talk about things that are always true;
- to talk about habits, in that case, it is common to use adverbs of frequency like always, never, usually, often, that demonstrate the frequency of the activity;
- for schedule plans, like the departure or arrival of a train.
We use the present perfect:
- for an action which happened at an unstated time in the past;
- with stative verbs, such as have, like, know, to talk about a state which started in the past and continues up to present;
- for experiences.
