Hello everybody.
We are going to review Present Simple and Present
Continous.
We use the present simple
tense when we want to talk about fixed
habits or routines – things that don’t change.
We use the present continuous
to talk about actions which are
happening at the present moment, but will soon finish.
Compare these two statements:
(present simple) I play tennis.
(present continuous) I am playing tennis.
(present simple) I play tennis’ tells
us that playing tennis is something the speaker always does. It is part of a
routine or habit. We can call this a permanent situation.
(present continuous) I am playing tennis’
tells us that the speaker is playing tennis right now. Soon the game will be
over. We call this a temporary situation.
