PRESENT SIMPLE VS PRESENT CONTINUOUS

PRESENT SIMPLE We use the present simple to talk about: Facts which are always true. e.g. The sun rises in the east. Actions or situations that are generally or usually true. e.g. Liz plays in the school basketball team.

Routines or habitual actions. e.g. I usually get up at 7.30. Timetables, programmes, etc. (for example, for public transport, cinema, etc) e.g. The train leaves Buenos Aires at 11.30 tomorrow morning.

POSITIVE Who? Examples I You We They play in the park every day. He/She/It plays in the park every day. NEGATIVE Who? Examples I You We They do not play in the park every day. He/She/It does not play in the park every day.

INTERROGATIVE Who? Examples Do I you we they play in the park every day? Does He/she/ it

SIGNAL WORDS

FREQUENCY ADVERBS They explain how often someone does an action or something happens. always + + + + + often/ frequently + + + + usually/ normally + + + sometimes/ occasionally + + rarely/ seldom/ hardly ever + never -

Frequency adverbs come after the verb to be, modal verbs and auxiliaries. e.g. He is always at home in the evening. You must never forget to lock the door. Frequency adverbs come before other verbs. e.g. Liz usually gets home at 7 p.m. They rarely eat out on weekdays.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS We use the present continuous to talk about: Actions in progress at the present moment. e.g. Sorry, I can’t speak to you, I’m washing my hair. Actions happening “around now” but not at the moment of speaking. e.g. Liz is reading The Hobbit at school.

Temporary actions. e.g. We are using our notebooks for a few days. A fixed future arrangement. e.g. Paul is leaving early tomorrow morning.

POSITIVE Who? Examples I am reading in the garden. sleeping on the sofa. You/ We/ They are He/ She/ It is NEGATIVE Who? Examples I am not reading in the garden. sleeping on the sofa. You/ We/ They are not He/ She/ It is not
