In this lesson we are going to compare the present simple tense and the present continuous tense. We are going to study the differences and do exercises together.
Present Simple VS Present Continuous
Many students (especially from Latin America) have problems in choosing the correct form of the verb when we talk about the “present”. Such problems arise because they translate from Spanish to English directly without paying attention to the communicative uses.
Structure differences
Present Simple:
- Maria plays tennis at the weekends
- She doesn’t study French.
- How many children do they have?
Remember:
- In positive we use two conjugations. One is the simple form and the other is the “s” form (play/plays)
- In negative sentences we use the auxiliaries don’t and doesn’t and the verb is ALWAYS in the simple form. (She doesn’t work)
- In the question form we use auxiliaries do and does and also the verb goes in the simple form. The subject goes in between the auxiliary and the verb. (Do you work here?)
Present continuous
- Maria is playing tennis.
- She isn’t studying.
- What are they doing?
Remember:
- 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.
USES COMPARISON
Present Simple
Present Continuous
Routines / Habits : Maria smokes
Actions happening NOW: Maria is smoking
Permanent Actions: Pedro lives in Sevilla
Temporary actions: Juan is staying at the Marriot hotel.
Current facts/truths: I have two brothers

Today we are going to talk about the uses and structure of present continuous. We are going to focus on when to use this tense when we speak.
Remember that if you do not know how to form the present continuous please review the BASIC LESSON #8 HERE
Structure (Present Continuous / Present Progressive)
The present continuous is formed with the verb to be in the present (am/is/are) plus the “-ing” (present participle) form like in the following model
SUBJECT + (to be + -ing ) +COMPLEMENT
Examples:
- Malissa is looking for an apartment.
- Claudio isn’t studying.
- Maria is staying at the Marriot Hotel.
We DO NOT use auxiliaries do/does or don’t/doesn’t because we are using the verb to be.
*** Esta lección es la continuación de la lección 27 y es importante porque tenemos que aprender a saber las diferencias gramáticas entre el present continuous y el present simple.
Uses:
We use the present continuous tense for the following situations:
Actions happening at the moment (NOW) – LESSON: We use the present continuous for an action that is in progress at the time we are speaking.
Examples:
Listen! Mario is singing.
Look outside. It is raining.
What are you doing?
Temporary Actions: For a temporary situation or activity not necessarily happening at the moment. The most common verbs that are used for this situation are: live, stay, and work.
Examples:
- Is it your first time in Buenos Aires? Where are you staying?
- I had a problem with my parents. I am living with my best friend.
- Juan doesn’t work for IBM anymore. He is working in a restaurant.
In contrast, to express permanent facts we use the present simple
- I live in Bogota
- My wife works for Telefonica.
*** el objetivo principal de esta leccíon es entender cuando usar el PRESENT CONTINUOUS y no confundirlo con el PRESENT SIMPLE (Ir a la LECCION AQUI). Tiene que quedar claro que usamos el PRESENT CONTINUOUS para describir y hablar de acciones que pasan en el momento en que uno esta hablando (que estan paando AHORA) y con acciones TEMPORALES - Acciones que no son permanentes como hemos visto en los ejemplos. RECUERDEN QUE EN EL ESPAÑOL HAY OTRAS REGLAS ASI QUE NO TRADUZCAN.
También recuerden que estamos en el pre-intermedio asi que hay otros usos que luego tocaremos mas adelante en el curso.
Exercises :
Fill in the blanks with the present continuous verbs of the verbs in parenthesis
A: So what is happening (happen)? Are they having (they/have) a party?
B: Yes, they are
A: And what _______________________ (they/do)?
B: Well, a few of them _______________________ (dance).
A: ______________________________ (Mom and Dad/dance)?
B: Mom is but Dad _______________________ (talk) to uncle Jack and they _______________________ (laugh) a lot.
A: Is Aunty Linda there?
B: Yes she ____. She _______________________ with Brian from next door. Oh, and Dad _______________________ (give) everyone a drink now.
A: What _______________________ (they/drink)?
B: Coffee, I think. And some of them _______________________ (drink) juice. Mom _______________________ (not/drink) anything.
A: _______________________ (they/eat)?
B: Only crisps and nuts and some cheese.
A: And we _______________________ (not/eat) anything. It’s not fair!

CURSO GRATUITO DE INGLES CON AUDIO Lección 8 - GRAMATICA Grammar  (the present continuous tense)
In this lesson we will cover the present continuous tense (the use and structure). Recuerden de votar por InglesTotal AQUI (bajo EDUCACION)
The Present Continuous or present progressive tense
Structure: S + verb to be (AM/IS/ARE) + -ing form of a verb+ Complement.
Use: To describe actions that are happening at the moment (NOW).
La estructura consta del uso del verbo mas el gerundio. se usa para describir acciones que suceden en el momento. Se usa para explicar lo que uno esta haciendo ahora.
I) The positive form of the present continuous.
- Remember to use the Subject (this can be a subject pronoun or a noun -LESSON 1 Click AQUI) plus (+) the verb to be in the present tense (am/is/are) and complement (optional).
The following is the table of the positive form of the present continuous / progressive.
Table #1 :Positive Form
Common mistakes:
- Students forget to use the verb to be
Example:
a) My father working (INCORRECT) ---&gt; My father IS working. (Correct)
- Sometimes students do not use the -ing form.
b) Robert is play with my sister (INCORRECT) ---&gt; Robert is playING with my sister. (CORRECT)
Recuerden de no omitir el sujeto. En español &quot;Esta comiendo&quot; esta usando un sujeto tácito. En ingles siempre debemos decir quien hace la acción (salvo en el imperativo) Entonces en &quot;esta comiendo&quot; el sujeto puede ser el, ella, o ello. En ingles seria &quot;He/she /it is eating&quot; dependiendo del contexto.
II) The negative form of the present continuous
The negative form is used by adding &quot;not&quot; after the verb to be in the present tense form. You may use contractions.
Table # 2:The negative form.
Common mistakes:
-Some students place the negative first. REMEMBER TO USE THE S+V+C !!!
a) Not working my father (INCORRECT) ---&gt; My father isn&#039;t (is + not) working (CORRECT)
- Students use the don&#039;t/doesn&#039;t to do the negative:
b) She doesn&#039;t playing (INCORRECT) ---&gt; She isn&#039;t playing (CORRECT)
III) The question form of the present continuous.
We have to put the verb to be + the subject + -ing form + the complement.
Are you watching TV?
Remember that we can use the Question words before the structure:
Examples:
- What are you doing? Answer: I am studying English with my virtual teacher.
- Where is Pedro going? Answer: He is going to the shopping mall.
Table # 3: Question form
Common mistakes:
- Students do not change the order of the verb to be with the subject:
a) He is working? (INCORRECT) ---&gt; Is he working? (CORRECT)
- Students use do or does in questions:
b) Do you studying? (INCORRECT) ---&gt; Are you studying? (CORRECT)
IV) Let&#039;s practice ! (Ejercicios de practica)
