Title: Simple Present vs. Present Continuous

1
Simple Present vs. Present Continuous
WHEN DO WE USE EACH TENSE?
2
Remember

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

3

Examples . . .
4

• Simple Present (Examples)
• 1) Habitual Action
• Tom goes fishing every week.
• I usually work until 200 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.

5

• Simple Present (More Examples)
• 2) General or Permanent Situations
• My family lives far away.
• Gill doesnt 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
• Wheres Ann? Shes playing soccer.
• Dont 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.

7

• 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
• Im working 50 hours this week.
• Shes taking an Italian class this semester.
• This year, Im trying
• to cut back on junk food.

8

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

9
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
10
Simple Present

• But for 3rd person singular, we say . . .
• He
• She
• It

work
s
11
The verb BE

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

12
Simple Present (Negative)

• For all verbs (EXCEPT be), use

doesn't
simple form of VERB

don't
Examples . . .
13

• 1) Sara works on Sunday.Sara doesnt work on
  Sunday.2) They have a big house.They dont
  have a big house.3) Sam takes classes at
  night.Sam doesnt take classes at night.4) I
  have a lot of free time.I dont have a lot of
  free time.

14

• VERB BE (Negative)
• For this verb ONLY, never use doesnt or dont.
  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.

15
Present Continuous

• Dont forget that VERB BE is part of this
  structure.
• I AM
• You, We, They ARE
• He, She, It IS

verb -ING

16

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

17

• 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.

18

• 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 love like hate see know need hear believe
understand have (possession) forget remember
belong
19

• 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.
