GRAMMAR
Diferencia entre el presente simple y el presente continuo
Como ya hemos visto, existen dos formas de hablar en el
presente. El presente simple (I eat) y el presente continuo (I am
eating). Sin embargo, hay diferencias de significado entre un
tiempo y otro:
El presente continuo se usa para hablar de acciones que estn
ocurriendo en el momento en el que se habla.
Eg.:
I am eating Yo estoy comiendo
(en este momento)
She is studying Ella est estudiando
(en este momento)
El presente simple se usa para hablar de acciones que ocurren en
general o cosas que se hacen a menudo, es decir, habitualmente.
Eg.:
I eat dinner at six oclock Yo ceno a las seis
(habitualmente)
She studies at home Ella estudia en casa
(habitualmente)
