THE SIMPLE PRESENT AND THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
The simple present tense: we use the simple present tense
for habitual actions, habits, routines and frequency adverbs.

FOR EXAMPLE:
I drink coffee every day.
I always drink coffee at night.

FREQUENCY ADVERBS:
Always, almost always, usually, often, generally, sometimes,
occasionally, hardly ever, never
THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
The present continuous: we use the present continuous to
describe actions in progress now or future plans.

FOR EXAMPLE:
I’m drinking water now.
I’m taking guitar lessons on Monday nights.

BE CAREFUL!: with some verbs, we can only use the simple


present tense.
THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
We usually use the simple present tense with have, want,
need, and like.

EXAMPLE:
I have one sister. NOT: I’m having one sister
I want a new jacket. I’m wanting a new jacket.
I need new shoes. I’m needing new shoes.
I like coffee. I’m liking coffee.
THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE: FREQUENCY ADVERBS
Frequency means: How many times? – cuantas veces or How
often? – que tan a menudo o con que frecuencia, we do
something.

the answer to the question: How often do you…?


FOR EXAMPLE: let me tell you How often I do things on the
weekends.
I always read the newspaper.
I usually sleep late.
I sometimes go to the movies.
I never work.
THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE: FREQUENCY ADVERBS
We put the frequency adverb before the verb. For example:

He always sleeps late.


He sleeps always late.

We never work on the weekend.


We work never on the weekend.

With the verb: be: am, is, are.


We put the frequency adverb after the verb. For example:
My Friends are usually tired after work.
My sister is always busy on the weekend.
