Grammar time! What on earth is the difference between the Present Simple and the Present Continuous? 🤔Let’s break it down my friends! We use the PS to talk about: FACTS and ROUTINES We use the PC to talk about: something happening NOW (at the moment of speaking) or for a PLANNED FUTURE EVENT ✏️ Words that show us we need the PS: ALWAYS, USUALLY, OFTEN, SOMETIMES, RARELY, NEVER ✏️ Words that show us we need the PC: NOW, RIGHT NOW, AT THE MOMENT, TOMORROW, NEXT WEEK, TONIGHT ✏️ We build the PC by using a form of the verb TO BE + (VERB)ING EX: I AM EATING a pizza right now. They ARE SLEEPING at the moment. ✏️ CHALLENGE: Make your own PS or PC sentence and pop it in the comment section below👇🏼 ✏️ Stay tuned for more one minute grammar tips every week!
