PRESENT SIMPLE OR PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment.
Spelling of Verb + ING
For many verbs we make the ING form by simply adding -ING to end of the verb.
  • eat – eating
  • speak – speaking
  • cook – cooking
  • start – starting
  • do – doing
  • stay – staying
  • fix – fixing
  • try – trying
Verbs ending with -e (with the exception of verbs ending in -ee and -ie)
Drop the -e and add ING
  • hope – hoping
  • ride – riding
  • make – making
  • write – writing
Verbs ending with -ee
Just add -ING
  • agree – agreeing
  • flee – fleeing
  • see – seeing
Verbs ending with -ie
Change the -ie to -y and add -ING
  • die – dying
  • tie – tying
  • lie – lying
Verbs ending with one vowel and one consonant (with the exception of w, x, and y)
For one syllable verbs
double the consonant and add -ING
  • jog – jogging
  • sit – sitting
  • run – running
  • stop – stopping
For two syllable verbs
If the 1st syllable is stressed, just add ING
  • answer – answering
  • offer – offering
  • listen – listening
  • visit – visiting
If the 2nd syllable is stressed , double the consonant and add ING
  • admit – admitting
  • prefer – preferring
  • begin – begining
NOW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS IS, PRESENT SIMPLE IS FOR ROUTINES, THINGS THAT YOU ALWAYS, USUALLY, SOMETIMES DO, WITH A FREQUENCY OF TIME, THAT IS WHY THE ADVERB OF FREQUENCY GOES WITH PRESENT SIMPLE.
THEN, PRESENT CONTINUOUS IS AN ACTION I DO RIGHT NOW, AT A PERIOD OF TIME, AND AFTER THAT, IT ENDS.
