What's the difference?
Present Simple and Present Continuous
Present Simple | Present Continuous |
Things which are always true:
| Things which are happening at the moment of speaking:
|
Permanent situations (or nearly permanent; true for a few years at least):
| Temporary situations:
|
Habits or things we do regularly:
| Temporary or new habits:
|
Future events which are part of a timetable:
| Definite future plans:
|
To talk about what happens in books, plays and films:
| To talk about people in pictures and photos:
|
Remember:
- We use the present simple with stative verbs. We can't use any continuous tense (including the present continuous tense, of course) with stative verbs.
