!!!To su sva vremena I obrati paznju na odrednice vemena jer ti one tacno odredjuju koje vreme da upotrebis npr. every day = present simple at 7 oclock
(tacno odredjeno vreme)

= present,past simple

(zavisi od konteksta I ostalih vremena u recenici)

at the moment = present continuous since = present perfect recently = present perfect continuous all night,all month = past continuous at this time of year,on aturday = future continuous by the end = future perfect etc.
