in progress (happening) at the moment of speaking. The water is boiling. Can you turn it off? I
am going to bed now. Good night! Let’s go out, it isn’t raining now. Are they watching cartoons
now? No, they are in the kitchen.
2. 3. * We use Present Continuous to talk about temporary situations. I am living with my friends
until I find a flat. A: You are working hard today. B: Yes, I have a lot to do.
4. SIMPLE PRESENT (I do / He does) (am / is / are) * We use Simple Present to describe
routines (things happen repeatedly). She goes to the library every weekend. Water boils at 100
degrees Celsius. Excuseme, do you speak English? Does she have any children?
5. * We use Simple Present to talk about permanent situations. I live in New Jersey. John
works for Microsoft. She speaks five languages. We are friends.
6. NOTE * Certain verbs like have, believe, hope, know, lke, love, hate, belong, own
CANNOT be used in the continuous tense. * These verbs usually express a STATE not an
ACTION. I know the answer. NOT I am knowing the answer.
