PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINOUS.

PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINOUS.

1. PRESENT SIMPLE.

   • It is used to talk about common situations.
   • The Simple Present is also used to express a fact, feature, or something that is usually always true.
   • To conjugate the present simple use the inifinitivo for subjects "I", "you", "we" and "they" and another for "he", "she" and "it", we added a "-s" to end of the verb.
   • Adverbs of time go before the verb, except the verb "to be" (ser / estar). When "to be" used the verb goes before the adverb.

2. PPRESENT CONTINOUS.

   • It is used for actions that are taking place at that time.
   • When we construct the present continuous we use the verb to be. Therefore we DO NOT USE auxiliaries do, does, don’t or doesn’t.
   • Use the “ing” form after the verb to be.
   • Besides there are structural differences - the present continuous is the verb "to be" as auxiliary and the "present participle"
