Grammar: Present Simple v Present Continuous

A lot of students find the differences between the present simple and the present continuous difficult. Let's remember:

 


Present simple:

Present continuous:
 
1. things that are happening now, at the moment     2. temporary actions
 
 
We use do/does with the present simple
We use am/is/are + verb + ing with the present continuous
 
Here are some exercises to help you practise:
