4.¿Quan s’utilitza el present simple i quan el present continuous?

 

El present simple s’utiliza per parlar de coses que fem (o fan d’altres) amb una certa freqüència. Així, doncs, sovint (encara que no sempre) van acompanyat per adverbis o complements que indiquen frequència (always, normally, sometimes, never, every day, on Saturdays, etc, etc.)

 

He never fails any exam. (mai suspèn cap exàmen)

He normally goes to the cinema on Sundays.

 

En canvi, el present continuous se sol utilitzar per parlar del que fem o (fan d’altres) en el moment en el qual parlem, també per parlar dels plans que tenim en el futur inmediat:

 

What are you doing? I’m watching TV.

I’m going to the cinema this evening. 

He’s eating a sandwich at the moment.

 

Omple els buits amb el present simple o el present Continuous (no usis contraccions):

1. Normally (I / start) work at eight o'clock          but (I / start) at seven this week. We're very busy at the moment.

2. I haven't got a car at the moment, so (I/ go)to work on the bus this week. Usually (I/ drive) to work.

3. The sun (rise) in the east, remember. It's behind us so  (we / travel) west.

4. I'm afraid I have no time to help you just now  (I / write) a letter. But (I / promise) I'll give you some help later.
