Lately

0 Hi, 02br
00I know that 01i01b00lately02b02i00 is used with the present perfect, can it also be used with other verbs like the present simple or the present coninuous? Examples:02br
02br
00I'm so busy lately!02br
00You seem so tired lately!02br
00Why are you being so mean lately?02br
00...02br
02br
00I thought it was only used with the persent perfect, but today, in an animated cartoon, I heard: 01i00"Chris, what's going on with you lately?"02i02br
02br
00Thanks.0-

00These sound acceptable to me. Think of lately as 'in recent times including now'.02br

0I really didn't know that. This should mean that the more I watch animated cartoons, the more I learn. 05002br
