Grammar
Present simple vs. present continuous
💡Remember!
- We use the present simple to talk about habits or things we do regularly.
Example: My mother cooks every day.
- We use the present continuous to talk about things which are happening at the moment of speaking.
Example: My mother isn't cooking now. She's working in her office.
Note: We don't usually use the present continuous tense with stative verbs (like, love, need, want, know, agree, etc.).
1. Choose the correct form of the verb in each sentence.
1. Mrs Lan usually does / is doing the cooking in her family.
2. I'm afraid he can't answer the phone now. He puts out / is putting out the rubbish.
3. He cleans / is cleaning the house every day.
4. My sister can't do any housework today. She studies / is studying for her exams.
5. My mother does / is doing the laundry twice a week.
