Simple Present vs. Present Continuous WHEN DO WE USE EACH TENSE?

For example . . . Remember: Grammar has meaning! Different grammar tenses are used in different situations or contexts and they carry different meanings. For example . . .

Use the simple present for: Use the present continuous for: 1) action that happens repeatedly (habitual action) 2) general or permanent situations 3) facts Use the simple present for: 1)Something that is happening now or close to the time of speaking 2) A temporary situation Use the present continuous for: Examples . . .

Simple Present (Examples) 1) Habitual Action: Tom goes fishing every week. I usually work until 2:00 p.m. My family comes to visit me every year. *Frequency adverbs: these adverbs are commonly used with simple present: Always, never, usually, rarely, sometimes, often, etc.

Simple Present (More Examples) 2) General or Permanent Situations: My family lives far away. Gill doesn’t work on Saturday. Beth and Toan work at ECC. 3) Facts: The Earth is round. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. The Eiffel Tower is in Paris.

Present Continuous (Examples) 1) Action happening now or close to time of speaking: Where’s Ann? She’s playing soccer. Don’t bother the kids. They are doing their homework. 2) Temporary situations: Martha and her husband are traveling around Europe for two weeks. Lisa is living with friends until she finds an apartment.

Present Continuous . . . We often use the present continuous (and not simple present) when action continues over a period of time. this week, this semester, this year I’m working 50 hours this week. She’s taking an Italian class this semester. This year, I’m trying to cut back on junk food.
