The Present is used to describe an action or state which is past but still continuing: I I y a trois ans que je suia ici. I have been here three years. 3. The Present may be used in historical narration, to describe past actions or states more vividly: On m'appella; je le vois etendu parterre. They called me; I saw him stretched on the ground. 4. The Present may be used for the Future, to convey the idea of certainty: Je pars demain. I am going to-morrow. Son proces se juge demain. His case will be tried to-morrow. Le peuple francais, s'il tire l'epee, en jettera le fourreau. The French people, if it draws the sword, will throw away the scabbard (Mignet). 170. Use of the Perfect Indicative.--The Perfect Tense corresponds to the English Perfect in form, but rarely does so in sense. It
