1 Read the theory and say the examples in your
language. Find examples in the texts on p. 6.

We use the present simple to talk about:
• permanent states and a general truth.
Amir plays in a football team. The sun rises in the east.
• habits/routines. I play tennis every Saturday,
• timetables. The salsa group starts at 7 pm.
Time expressions: every day, on Mondays, often, etc.
We use the present continuous to talk about:
• actions happening now/around the time of speaking. Janice is training
for a race now. Tina is practising for the tournament these days.
• future arrangements. I'm going to the match tomorrow.
• temporary situations. Jane is working in a leisure centre for the summer
Time expressions: now, at the moment, at present, etc.
Note: Some verbs don't have continuous forms because they describe a
state rather than an action (want, like, love, hate, know, believe,
need, etc). I love reading. (NOT: l'on-loving reading.)
