welcome to maple leaf ESL my name is
Andrew and thank you for joining me in
the classroom today for today's lesson
I'd like to look at two very important
verb tenses those are simple present and
present continuous I want to see if we
can compare those two verb tenses and
try and decide in what situations should
we use each before we do that let's just
take a look at an example of what simple
present is and what present continuous
is so first of all simple present tom
plays tennis every day notice the verb
play this is in the base verb form this
is the same form that we would find in
the dictionary if we look over present
continuous Tom is playing tennis today
here note the verb playing this is the
base verb plus ing so for simple present
play present continuous playing this is
the first basic feature of simple
present and present continuous now I
want to take a look at some of the
differences and the situations that we
need each let's start with simple
present okay the first reason something
happening in general if we look at the
example tom plays tennis this is a very
simple sentence again we can see here
we've just got that base verb play this
describes what Tom or the subject does
so as for another example my dad drives
a car or my sister works at Starbucks in
both examples my dad drives or my sister
works I have used the simple present to
describe what the subject
does second routines and habits a
routine or a habit is something we do
regularly we can see the example Tom
plays tennis every weekend okay this is
a very important part of talking about
simple present every weekend shows that
it is a habit this is a routine this is
not something Tom will do once it's
something that Tom does regularly okay
so other examples I wake up at seven
o'clock every morning or every day I eat
lunch at one o'clock or I usually go to
bed at 11 p.m.
all of those are examples of simple
present describing routines finally
schedules Tom's tennis match starts at
1:00 o'clock again start our verb is in
the simple present tense if I want to
talk about a movie for example the movie
starts or begins at 7:00 o'clock
okay another example might be class
finishes at 12 o'clock in both sentences
I've described a schedule okay let's see
if we can look over at the present
continuous and I want to compare it with
the simple present as we do that so our
first example something happening now
the most important part of this sentence
is now if I want to talk about something
that is happening now something that I
see or something that I know I need to
use the present continuous for example
tom is playing tennis right now so I'm
gonna underline this right now because
that is very important it is happening
now if I compare that over to here Tom
plays tennis we don't know when Tom
plays ten
we only know that he plays tennis
because again we're describing something
that happens in general over here this
is something happening now second
limited time period let's read the
example Thomas playing tennis at a
different school this week okay
so again notice we've used our I and G
okay and we've got a time period that is
limited this week this week will be
finished eventually at some point that's
why we say it's a limited time period
okay so for example maybe I am sleeping
at my friend's house tonight so again
tonight is a limited time period it's
for one night only it's not something
that I will do every weekend if I stay
at my friend's house every weekend then
I would say I stay at my friend's house
every weekend okay
third the near future tom is playing
tennis tonight so I'm gonna underline
tonight tonight is definitely the near
future okay so to give an example I'm
meeting my friend tomorrow afternoon so
again tomorrow afternoon is the near
future notice that with present
continuous sometimes we can use it to
have the same meaning as the future
tense in my previous example I'm meeting
my friend for lunch tomorrow afternoon
notice that tomorrow afternoon is in the
future same thing with this example
tonight is in the future so present
continuous can be used to describe the
future simple present cannot okay Tom
plays tennis every weekend that is not
the future exactly this is to show that
it's a
repeated action or again the tennis
match starts at one o'clock this is just
to show the schedule but nothing else
okay now I'm gonna erase the whiteboard
because I want to look at some key words
that we can use when talking about
simple present or talking about present
continuous okay so let's see if we can
take a look at a few key words that
we'll need with simple present and with
present continuous let's start with
simple present we can see I've written
here always usually every sometimes
often never normally and seldom when we
see these words it is almost always
together with the simple present let's
make a couple of examples I always wake
up at seven o'clock I sometimes meet my
friends on the weekend I normally wear a
tie to the office we can see in all of
those examples we need to use the simple
present verb tense together with these
words okay on the other side we also
have some key words and phrases at the
moment today right now and now so same
thing when I use these
I need the present continuous okay let's
make some examples I am studying at the
library at the moment or I'm meeting my
friend today or I'm listening to music
right now so in all of my examples I
needed to use the present continuous and
my example showed something that is
happening now as we speak okay
also if you hear somebody say look or
listen their sentence will usually be a
present continuous sentence for example
look that car is moving quickly or
listen I can hear a bird
singing in both of those examples we
needed to use the present continuous
tense okay I have one more thing that I
wants to look at sometimes certain verbs
will only be used in the simple present
so we will not use some verbs in the
present continuous I've made a list of
some of those words although there are
more words than just these ones okay
let's take a look so I have written here
only in simple present we've got light
love no understand remember forget have
here see smell think want if we look at
those verbs
most of those verbs are deal with
emotions or senses senses we have five
of them right we can see we can hear we
can smell we can taste and then we can
touch those are five senses so it
usually words that deal with the senses
or with emotions are only in the simple
present okay I want to give a couple of
examples for example understand right I
understand what you just said not I am
understanding what you just said okay
like I like baseball not I am like in
baseball okay and one more I forgot to
bring my backpack to school not I'm
forgetting to bring my backpack to
school so in all of those examples it's
something to do with emotions or senses
and we said only in the simple present
ok so that's today's lesson for today I
hope that you can understand some of the
differences between simple present and
present continuous thank you for joining
me in the classrooms
