تفاوت‌ حال ساده و حال استمراری

Simple Present VS Present Continuous

Today is the grammar day! So let’s see what’s the difference between simple present & present continuous!

Use the simple present to talk about your habits and routines.

I bite my nails! (Remember? It’s my bad habit)

I exercise every day, but my brother… he’s a couch potato! He does nothing all day long! ……….

Use the present continuous when you want to talk about actions that are happening at the present moment.

I am learning English with Zabanshenas these days.

She’s eating dinner now! You can call her later!

For the simple present we say:

I write / you write / we write / they write / he writes / she writes / It writes ( for some reasons ) ………. For the present continuous we say:

I’m writing / You’re writing / We’re writing / They’re writing / He’s writing / She’s writing / It’s writing  )

There are some time expressions and frequency adverbs that we use them for simple present! For example:

Every day/ every month/ every other day/ on Saturdays / once a week/ twice a week/ three times a week/ Always/ often/ usually/ sometimes/ hardly ever / never/ …

And for the present continuous we can use these time expressions:

Today /Now/ at the moment/ these days or nowadays / this year or this month / currently /….
