There are thick books written about the tenses used in the English language. I could have you read all of these books, but I am trying to just provide the basics at first. Later, you can add to the basic knowledge and maybe one day, you can even become an English professor.
Okay, time to compare two different tenses. The present continuous is used for an action that takes place as you write or speak.
I am writing this while my father is driving the car.
The present continuous is used for a regular action. It could take place every second, every week, every ten years. etc.
My friend rides her horse every week.
My sister goes to the grocery store every day.
My teachers always gives us homework.
Susie usually forgets her lunch.
Every year, the dentist checks my teeth.
Think about these sentences. Which ones are right and which ones are wrong?
I am going to New York every January.
I read a book now.
I am playing chess with my brother who always wins.
John never is forgetting because he has a good mind.
Correct the ones that are wrong and send them to me if you would like.
