Hello, everyone! My name is Cris. My name is Ana.
And this is Great Ideas for Teachers and Students!
Subtitiles are available in English and Portuguese.
On today's video we're gonna show you the difference between the Simple Present and the Present Continuous.
We use the Simple Present to talk about routines, habits.
Hi, Cris. What do you do every Monday morning?
I go to the gym.
I see.
We also use the Simple Present to talk about universal truths.
Cris, when does water boil?
When it gets to 100 degrees Celsius.
We also use the Simple Present to talk about things that we don't expect to change.
Cris, where do you live?
I live in São Paulo, Brazil.
And where do you work?
I work from home. I have a YouTube channel.
Nice.
We use the Simple Present with every day, every week, every month, every year.
For example, I go to the dentist every year.
And also we use the Simple Present with adverbs of frequency, like
always, often, usually, rarely, never
For example,
I never go to bed before 10 PM.
Now let's talk about the Present Continuous.
We use the Present Continuous to talk
about an action that is happening now.
Hi, Ana, can you talk?
I'm sorry, Cris, I can't talk to you now.
I'm shooting a YouTube video.
Oh sorry, I'll call you later.
OK, bye!
We use the Present Continuous to talk about an action
that is different from the routine.
Hi, Cris. What do you usually do on Mondays?
I usually go to the gym, but today I'm going shopping.
Cool!
We also use the Present Continuous to talk about an action
that is happening in a very near future.
Hi, Ana, what are you doing after we finish shooting the video?
I'm going out with my friends. Do you wanna come?
Sure! Great!
We use the Present Continuous with today, this morning, this afternoon, tonight
now, right now and at this moment.
For example, We are teaching you how to use the Present Continuous right now.
But pay attention!
There are some verbs that we don't usually use in continuous tenses.
What are they?
Verbs that express thought and ideas, like
think, believe
mean, understand, remember
and agree.
Ah, so know is a verb too that you don't use with -ing
I know!
And verbs that express feelings.
Love, like, hate, want and prefer
So even if you say "right now"
you still have to use the Simple Present
Do you understand?
Because you cannot say
*I am understanding
because it's wrong, ok?
I don't like it
OK, but you cannot say I'm not liking it because that's wrong too.
