Pelajaran ini sedikit lebih singkat dibanding yang lainnya karena speaking dalam present tense tidak seumum speaking dalam future tense atau past tense. Walaupun speaking dalam future tense atau past tense lebih umum, namun tetap penting untuk mengetahui bagaimana berkomunikasi dalam present tense. Berikut beberapa contoh kalimatnya.
