Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

In the afirmative, the present simple is use with the person (I, You...)+ the verb (play, eat ...)+ complements (water, apple ...).

Example: You play football.



In the negative use: Person+ don't+ the verb + complements.

Example: You don't play.



In the interogative use: Do+ person+ verb+ complements + ?

Example: Do you play?





Use the Present Continuous with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.

In the afirmative the present simple is with: The person + verb with -ing in the finish + complements.

Example: You are learning English now.


In the negative use: Person + verb + not + verb.

Example: You are not swimming now.


in teh interrogative use: verb + person + verb + ?

Example: Are you sleeping?
