Objetivo:
- Utilizar el presente simple y el presente continuo en los contextos apropiados.

Simple present or present continuous? (Presente simple o continuo)

• Mira el cuadro con ejemplos de presente simple y continuo.

Ambos tiempos nos permiten hablar del presente.

• Usamos el presente simple para hablar en general del presente: información personal de
nombre, actividad, etc., o para hablar de actividades que realizamos habitualmente.
Por ejemplo:
 “My brother works in a pharmacy”.

Usamos presente continuo para hablar del presente inmediato, ahora, en estos momentos.
 “Today my brother is working in the pharmacy.”

Recuerda las diferencias de forma de presente simple y continuo para afirmar, negar y preguntar.
