Present Simple vs Present Continuous: Practice
Let's practise choosing the right tense!
Key time words
| Present Simple | Present Continuous |
|---|
| always, usually, often, sometimes, never, every day/week/month | now, right now, at the moment, today, Look! |
Ejemplo
I usually walk to school, but today I am going by car.
(Usually = habit -> Present Simple. Today = this specific moment -> Present Continuous)
Ejemplo
Do you like pizza? Yes, I do!
Are you eating pizza now? No, I'm not.
(Like = permanent preference -> Simple. Eating = action now -> Continuous)
Recuerda
Some verbs are NOT usually used in the continuous: like, love, hate, want, need, know, understand, believe.
