How is your day – Contoh Percakapan
Present tense lebih umum digunakan dalam menulis. Itu karena tulisan-tulisan biasanya bersifat instruksional. Tulisan yang instruksional lebih umum ditulis dalam present tense. Akan tetapi, cerita-cerita dalam novel dituliskan dalam bentuk past tense.
Alasan mengapa past tense dan future tense lebih umum digunakan dibanding present tense dalam speaking adalah karena biasanya kita menceritakan seseorang apa yang telah dilakukan atau apa yang akan kita lakukan. Speaking dalam present tense digunakan utamanya untuk menjelaskan kepada seseorang apa yang sedang Anda lakukan saat ini. Biasanya persent tense sangat umum digunakan dalam percakapan dua arah dengan seseorang atau ketika Anda menerima panggilan telpon.
