Simple Present vs. PresentContinuous When do we use each tense?

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: 1) action that happens repeatedly(habitual action) 2) general or permanent situations 3) facts Use the present continuous for: Something that is happening now or close to the time of speaking 2) A temporary situation 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. Jack 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 Tom? He’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’mworking 50 hours this week. She’staking an Italian class this semester. This year, I’mtrying to cut back on junk food.

Grammar Structure: Here are some reminders about how to make the simple present and present continuous:

Simple Present: The most important thing to remember about this tense is . . . 3rd person singular (he, she, it) We say: I You We They work

Simple Present: But for 3rd person singular, we say . . . He She It work s

The verb BE Remember the forms of verb BE for the simple present tense: I AM He, She, It IS They, We, You ARE

Simple Present (Negative) For all verbs (EXCEPT be), use: doesn't simple form of VERB + don't Examples . . .

1) Sara works on Sunday.Sara doesn’t work on Sunday.2) They have a big house.They don’t have a big house.3) Sam takes classes at night.Sam doesn’t take classes at night.4) I have a lot of free time.I don’t have a lot of free time.

VERB BE (Negative) For this verb ONLY, never use doesn’t or don’t. Simple ADD the word NOT after the verb. I am tired. I am NOT tired. She is rich. She is NOT rich. They are here. They are NOT here.

Present Continuous: Don’t forget that VERB BE is part of this structure. I AM You, We, TheyARE He, She, ItIS verb -ING +

Examples: Everyone is studying hard. They are celebrating their 40th anniversary today. I am cleaning my house this week.

Present Continuous (Negative) For this tense, simply ADD the word NOT after the verb BE. They are working today. They are NOT working today. She is taking a Math class. She is NOT taking a Math class.

Important Note about Present Continuous! Some verbs are NOT typically used in the present continuous tense. Instead, we prefer to use these verbs in the simple present. These verbs are called STATIVE (or non-action) verbs. Here are some examples: want like love hate know need see hear believe understand have (possession) forget remember belong

Examples: I like Rome. NOT:I am liking Rome. She has a big house. NOT:She is having a big house. I prefer to have coffee. NOT:I am preferring to have coffee. _____________ _____________ _____________

Practice! Do these exercises with your class. Choose the simple present or present continuous and discuss why each is correct. 1. On Tuesdays, I ________ (go) to the gym. 2. Karen ________ (paint) her apartment this week. 3. This room __________ (be) very large. 4. He _________ (have) a headache right now. 5. It ________ (rain) really hard right now. 6. Where is John? He _______ (work). 7. I ________ (meet) my friend in a few minutes. 8. My family ________ (come) to San Diego often.

Answers! 1. On Tuesdays, I go to the gym. 2. Karen is painting her apartment this week. 3. This room is very large. (fact) 4. He has a headache right now. (stative) 5. It is raining really hard right now. 6. Where is John? He is working. (right now) 7. I am meeting my friend in a few minutes. 8. My family comes to San Diego often.

Understanding the present continuous tense

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overview of present continuous tense.

• Using the present continuous tense for actions that are not happening at the moment of speaking.
• Forgetting to use the present participle form (-ing) of the main verb.
• Using the present continuous tense for actions that are habitual or permanent.

*The present continuous tense is used to describe an action that is happening now or at the moment of speaking. *It can also be used to describe an action that is happening around the present moment, but not necessarily at the exact moment of speaking. *The present continuous tense is formed by using the verb 'to be' followed by the present participle (-ing) form of the main verb. *Examples: 'I am currently studying for my exams.' 'She is watching TV right now.'

Forming the Present Continuous Tense

*I am currently studying for my exams. *She is working on a new project at her job. *They are playing soccer in the park right now. *He is always talking about traveling the world. *We are currently living in New York City.

Examples of Present Continuous Tense

*Talking about current activities: "I am currently studying for my exams." *Describing temporary situations: "He is staying with us until he finds a new apartment." *lking about future plans: "We are going on vacation next week." *Describing ongoing changes: "The weather is getting colder and the leaves are falling."

Using Present Continuous Tense in Everyday Life

*Using the present continuous tense for actions that are not currently happening.*Forgetting to include the auxiliary verb 'be'*Confusing the present continuous tense with the simple present tense.*Using the present continuous tense for future actions
