📝 Trucos para el Present Simple y el Present Continuous

Truco 1: El Present Simple se utiliza para hablar de acciones habituales, hechos generales o verdades universales. Para formarlo, generalmente añade una «s» al final del verbo en tercera persona del singular, por ejemplo: «He eats breakfast every morning» (Él desayuna todas las mañanas).

Truco 2: El Present Continuous se utiliza para hablar de acciones que están ocurriendo en el momento presente. Se forma utilizando el verbo «to be» seguido del verbo principal en gerundio (-ing). Por ejemplo: «She is studying for her exam» (Ella está estudiando para su examen).

Truco 3: Para recordar la diferencia entre ambos tiempos verbales, piensa en que el Present Simple se utiliza para hablar de acciones habituales o verdades generales, mientras que el Present Continuous se utiliza para hablar de acciones que están ocurriendo en el momento presente. Un truco mnemotécnico es recordar que el Present Simple utiliza el adverbio «always» (siempre) con frecuencia, mientras que el Present Continuous utiliza «now» (ahora) o «at the moment» (en este momento) para indicar que la acción está ocurriendo en el presente.
