Present Simple ( I do )

Se utiliza para hablar de acciones habituales, genéricas, que tienen lugar con cierta frecuencia, sin hacer referencia a si en el momento actual se están realizando.

- I study English. Yo estudio inglés; empecé hace algún tiempo y continúo, aunque puede que en el momento presente no esté realizando esta actividad.

- He plays tennis. / El juega al tenis; practica este deporte con cierta asiduidad, pero no significa que en el momento presente esté en la pista de tenis jugando.

- I work in a bank. / Yo trabajo en un banco; ésta es mi profesión, aunque puede que en el momento actual yo esté de vacaciones, descansando en mi casa. · También se utiliza para hablar de acciones futuras que ya han sido planificadas, especialmente al referirse a viajes.

- I leave Madrid tomorrow morning. Me voy de Madrid mañana por la mañana · La forma del "present simple" coincide con la del infinitivo sin la partícula "to", salvo en la 3ª persona del singular en la que se le añade una "s".

- To eat (comer) eat / eats

- To run (correr) run / runs · Si el verbo termina en "ss", "sh", "ch", "x", "o", al formar la 3º persona del singular se le añade "-es".

- To kiss (besar), I kiss, He kisses

- To watch (observar), I watch , He watches ·

Si el verbo termina en "y" tras consonante, al formar la 3ª persona del singular se sustituye esta "y" por una "i", seguida de la terminación "es".

- To carry (llevar) /I carry /He carries.

- To envy (envidiar) I envy He envies ·

Las oraciones negativas se forman con el auxiliar "to do", habitualmente en sus formas contraídas: "don´t" (= do not) para las personas "I, you, we, they", y "doesn´t" (= does not) para las personas "he, she, it"

- I don't play tennis. / Yo no juego al tenis

- She doesn´t go to the cinema. / Ella no va al cine

We don´t know the answer. Nosotros no sabemos la respuesta · La forma interrogativa se forma también con el auxiliar "to do" al comienzo de la oración ("do" con las personas "I, you, we, they"; "does" con "he, she, it").

- Do you play tennis? ¿ Juegas al tenis ?

- Does she go to the cinema? ¿ Va ella al cine ?

- Do we know the answer? / ¿ Conocemos la respuesta ?

Present Continuous ( I am doing)


1) We use the present continuous when we talk about something that is happening at the time of speaking (justo ahora: now, at the moment).

- Iam reading

- I am studying.
- Where is Paul? He's having a bath.
- Let's go out.
- (At the party) Are you enjoying the party?
- It isn't raining any more.
- Please, don't make so much noise.



2) We also use the present continuous when we talk about something which is happening around the time of speaking, but not necessarily exactly at the time of speaking. (en esta época).


- Silvia is learning French
- They are building their own house


3) We often use the present continuous when we talk about a period around the present. For example, with "today", "this year", etc. (ESTE AÑO, ETC.)


- You're training hard (Yes, I have a lot to do this year. I've got a competition.)We're not playing this season["No jugamos esta temporada". Aquí también podríamos traducir el present continuous por la perífrasis verbal "ir a + verbo" = No vamos a jugar esta temporada.]

4) We use the present continuous when we talk about changing situations. (ESTÁ CAMBIANDO)


- The population of the world is rising very fastIs your English getting better?


5) The present continuous can have a future meaning. We use it here instead of the Near Future (to be + going to + V), this is, when we are talking about what we have already arranged to do. (IR A + VERBO) .


- What are you doing tomorrow evening? I'm going to the theatre.Are you meeting your friends tomorrow? Yes, we're going out for a drink.I'm sorry, I cannot go - I'm working on/next Sunday.

- We could also say: What are you going to do tomorrow evening? / I am going (to go) to the theatre. / Are you going to meet your friends tomorrow? / Yes, we're going (to go) out for a drink. / I'm sorry, I cannot go - I'm going to work …

- Note: When we use the present continuous it is necessary to add a time reference (see "tomorrow, tomorrow evening, on/next Sunday") so we know it refers to the future and not to the present. With the verbs GO and COME it is not necessary to add the time reference.
