In short: Present Continuous (in Dutch) • Je gebruikt de present continuous om: aan te geven dat iets NU aan de gang is. Signaalwoorden zijn o. a: "now, at the moment, listen. . . " enz. • aan te geven dat je iets van plan bent. Meestal staat er bij wanneer je in de toekomst dat van plan bent. • irritatie aan te geven. Meestal staat het woordje "always" in de zin om het extra duidelijk te maken. • I am reading now. (nu aan de gang) • They are dancing tonight. (vast plan) • He is always teasing me. (irritatie)
Versus: Present Simple (in Dutch) • Je gebruikt de simple present om: aan te geven dat iets een gewoonte is. Signaalwoorden zijn o. a: "always, never, every day" enz. • aan te geven dat iets een feit is. • He always drives fast. (gewoonte) • The sun rises in the east. (feit)

Present Perfect Je gebruikt de present perfect om… 1. …te zeggen dat iets in het verleden is gebeurd maar er staat niet bij wanneer dat is gebeurd (als dat er wel staat gebruik je de past simple) 2. …te zeggen dat iets in het verleden is begonnen en nu nog doorgaat (als het is afgerond gebruik je wederom de past simple) Zoals je begrijpt: de present perfect wordt in de toets dan ook in combinatie met de past simple gebruikt.
Present Perfect Hoe ziet dat er uit dan? have / has + voltooid deelwoord I You We They have walked bought listened been 10 miles already. an ugly sweater. to a boring lecture. to France 4 times. She / it (shit) has played tennis since she was young.
Present Perfect Continuous Je gebruikt de present perfect continuous om… …te verwijzen naar een onbepaalde periode tussen ‘nu’ en ergens ‘voor nu’. Je denkt dan over iets dat (al eerder) is begonnen maar misschien nog niet in die periode is afgelopen. Je bent dan geïnteresseerd in het proces als in het resultaat, en dit proces kan nog voortduren of is net afgelopen.
Present Perfect Continuous Hoe ziet dat er uit dan? have / has + been + ww-ing I You We They have She / it has (shit-rule) been walking for 10 minutes already. buying us lots of beers tonight. listening to a boring lecture. going to France for most of my life. been playing tennis since 2 pm.

Mind! If you talk about ‘ik’ in English, always write ‘I’ with a capital letter. So, no ‘i’ but ‘I’! Please, please, don’t write ‘wanna’ (= want to) or ‘gonna’ (= going to) or something like that. You can say it, but not write it. It is grammatically incorrect. Good luck studying!
