	CalifJim  +  894389 Wed, 09 Sep 09 10:25 PM All OK, except as follows: Nigel lives in London  PRESENT CONTINUOUS  Simple present -- There's no -ing.  You must have an -ing for a continuous tense. I've had a cold for 5 days  SIMPLE PRESENT  Present perfect -- have had -- auxiliary have indicates perfect. I'm going to teach English in Mongolia next year FUTURE FORM  Present continuous am going, but Future in meaning.
