AnonymousWe have been given some

Thank you. That was very helpful.

I thought that have been given (we got the papers sometime in the recent past, maybe yesterday) is used for something in the past, and not about to happen today. I can see that in your explanation. Is that correct?

Because I was mainly confused between the use of we are given and have been given.

So are given is used when we talk

In a context like this, we have been given some questions to answer at home would suggest that we were given the questions in the recent past, probably earlier today, and we are answering them now, or will be answering them in the near future, perhaps this evening.
in a context like this, we are given some questions to answer at home suggests a daily, or recurring,

Thank you. So the we are given is used for a present situation and what usually happens (as a daily routine) as you said, and it is used a narrative of telling what happens, but it should as the have been given in which we were given something that is due for a later time as you have explained. Have I understood correctly?

We are given... describes what usually happens.
Have been given... describes something we were given earlier, where the whole activity is not yet complete (we presumably haven't answered the questions yet).
