GRAMMAR TOPIC EXPLANATION/STRUCTURE/EXAMPLES

Explanation:

The present simple is used to talk about things that happen

regularly. Unlike with Spanish, the simple present is not used to talk

about something that is happening at the moment in which we speak.

The construction of the simple present (Present Simple) in English is

really easy.

Present simple It has the structure:

[SUBJECT] + [VERB] (in infinitive without to).

Examples

I always talk to my mother on Sunday. (Siempre hablo con mi

madre el domingo.)

He never eats vegetables. (Nunca come las verduras.)

They usually learn something new in class. (Normalmente

aprenden algo nuevo en la clase.).

The present progressive or continuous is a verbal tense of the

present which is used in two cases:

To describe facts or actions that the subject is performing at the

Present progressive
moment of speaking.
 To talk about an action or plans that we will carry out in the near

future.

Is formed with the verb BE and a present participle: BE + (verb +

ing). This grammatical aspect corresponds to the verb ESTAR +

gerund

Cordial greeting appreciated tutor and companions, complement

contributions.

Present continuous: it is composed of two parts: the present of the

verb to be + the "present participle" of the main verb.

Affirmative

Subject + to be + root + ing

You are going

He / she / it is going

Negative

Subject + to be + not + root + ing

He / she / it is not going

They are not going

Interrogative

to be + subject + root + ing

 Are you going?

Are we going?

The expressions is and there are used in to indicate that an object

or a person is in a specified place. The particularity of these

structures is that there is not the real subject of the verb to be, even if

it precedes it. The real subject of the verb is in the immediately

There is/are following position:

Example:

There is a book on the table.

There are two books on the table.

Adverbs of frequency (and frequency expressions) indicate the

repetition of an action.

We use the adverbs and the frequency expressions to answer the

question "How often ...?" - How often...?

How often do you see her? - How often do you see her?/ every

time you see it?

- I see her three or four times a month.

- I see her every day.

conclude speeches.
