Hi teachers,
I've learned "recently" means "in the near past" and the word is used in simple past, present perfect, and present perfect progressive tense sentences.
There's a comprehension question in an ESL textbook:
"What do people enjoy doing for the vacation seasons recently?"
Also in the passage it says:
"Recently, overseas travel during the vacations is popular."
Both sentences use "recently" with simple present tense.
Would you help me understand why these sentences in the textbook (recently in simple present tense sentences) are okay.
Confused,
Kitty
