1
00:00:02,419 --> 00:00:09,740
Okay, let's see some things about the present simple and the present continuous, okay?

2
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,580
When do we use the present simple?

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:20,760
Okay, we use it for habits, regular or repeated actions, such as I wash my hair every day.

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,120
No, that's a habit or a repeated action in time.

5
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:30,239
He usually gets up very early, so that's again a habit, no?

6
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:37,979
or something that you do regularly on your daily basis for facts permanent situations or states

7
00:00:37,979 --> 00:00:46,159
it's what we sometimes always call uh that is always true no i have one brother he lives in

8
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:52,020
paris water boils at 100 degrees this is a truth okay and it's like that always

9
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:56,340
What happens with stative verbs?

10
00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:59,960
Give me the money, I need it now. What happened?

11
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,200
You looked sad. Now, this

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,719
we have here this because the stative verbs that we have

13
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:10,400
are verbs of the senses. Hear, smell, see,

14
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,120
look, seem, sound. Opinion, believe, consider, like,

15
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,239
love, hate, prefer, think. Possession, have, own, belong.

16
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:26,519
And also be, need, mean, remember, want, and some others.

17
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,340
But these are the ones that we are going to use, no?

18
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:34,400
In this case, we cannot use them in continuous forms.

19
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:37,400
We can only use them in the present simple.

20
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,239
So you cannot say, I am hearing, or I am seeing.

21
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:43,579
No, I hear, I see.

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,620
I'm smelling.

23
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,700
No, I smell.

24
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:46,739
Okay?

25
00:01:46,739 --> 00:01:59,579
or a this is a having no this has okay so or this is belonging no this belongs

26
00:01:59,579 --> 00:02:07,180
to okay we always use them in the present simple and some of the words the

27
00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:13,020
keywords the signer words that will lead you to think that you need a present

28
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:20,639
simple instead of a present continuous are always never often sometimes every

29
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:29,259
day every day once a month twice a week and others present continues when do we

30
00:02:29,259 --> 00:02:34,740
use it for actions in progress now in that moment in the moment of speaking

31
00:02:34,740 --> 00:02:41,620
okay I can't talk I'm brushing my teeth okay he can't talk now he's having a

32
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:52,430
shower he can't talk now he's having a shower okay actions in progress around

33
00:02:52,430 --> 00:02:58,550
now I'm reading a new book I love it okay it doesn't mean that in that exact

34
00:02:58,550 --> 00:03:03,710
moment you are reading it but that in those days you are reading that book no

35
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:10,430
or he's training hard these days so the same is not that in that moment of

36
00:03:10,430 --> 00:03:16,909
speaking as with the other one you are doing the action but that these days

37
00:03:16,909 --> 00:03:23,689
that are very near today you are doing that no and the words will be the sign

38
00:03:23,689 --> 00:03:29,990
out words the keywords will be now at the moment these days this week this

39
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:39,830
month okay so for example here we see the difference between using it a verb

40
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:46,330
in the present simple or the present continuous I drink tea okay is that you

41
00:03:46,330 --> 00:03:51,050
do it regularly that you like it or whatever or you need to drink it and you

42
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:58,490
regularly drink tea whereas if you say I'm drinking tea it means that in that

43
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:05,210
precise moment you are drinking it okay or maybe you are talking about an action

44
00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:07,449
that is taking place during those days

45
00:04:07,449 --> 00:04:10,129
I do yoga

46
00:04:10,129 --> 00:04:11,889
the same

47
00:04:11,889 --> 00:04:14,590
it's something that you do on your daily basis

48
00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:16,870
whereas if you say I'm doing yoga

49
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:19,769
it doesn't mean that you always do it

50
00:04:19,769 --> 00:04:21,569
but in that moment you are doing it

51
00:04:21,569 --> 00:04:24,870
or in the moment around now

52
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:26,990
you are doing it

53
00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:27,810
ok

54
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:30,069
so again

55
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:31,230
this is all

56
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:33,410
I hope you understood
