Could you please help me out when to use these sentences, and in what situation?

1.What do you do?/what do i do? and What are you doing? (What's the difference between them?)

2.I wait for my mom to pick me up.

I'll wait for my mom to pick me up.

I'm waiting for my mom to pick me up.

I've been waiting for my mom to pick me up.

I've waited for my mom to pick me up.

(What's the difference and when to use them?)

Thank you so much! I'm so confused!

Anon, do you have a basic understanding of tenses? Do you know when to use the present, the present continuous, the present perfect, etc?

Your questions are very basic and would require too much explanation for one post in a forum.

Tenses, as you know, say when something happened and usually whether it's still going on now.

Are you waiting now? Have you been waiting for a long time? Will you wait in the future? Did you wait in the past but you are no longer waiting? The tense you choose will tell you.
