THE SIMPLE PRESENT or THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS 

· Etiketler

Şimdi bu iki tense'i karşılaştıralım.

a)         Konuşmanın geçtiği anda ya da o sıralarda yapmakta olduğumuz işleri Present Continuous ile (I am doing); genelde yaptığımız işleri, alışkanlıklarımızı ise Simple Present ile (/ do) ifade ettiğimizi belirtmiştik.

Ancak, geçici olarak ikamet ettiğimiz/çalıştığımız yeri şimdiki zamanla belirtiriz.

I moved to istanbul last week, and I'm living with a friend for the time being. His company sent him abroad for a month, and now he is working in Kuwait.

c)             Bazı fuller sürerlik bildiren tense'lerle (/ am doing, I was doing, I have been doing, etc.)

kullanılmazlar. Bu fuller, konuşma sırasında bizzat yapılmakta olan bir eylem (action) bildirmezler, durum ifade ederler.

"I'm writing now." ifadesinde, write fiili bir eylem bildirir. Yani benim şu anda yapmakta olduğum bir işi ifade eder.

"/ know English." ifadesinde ise know fiili bir eylem bildirmez. Yani, kişinin yapmakta olduğu bir işi değil, statik bir durum bildirir.

Durum bildiren fiillerin Simple Present ve Present Continuous için kullanımları aynıdır.

When I get up in the morning, I want to drink coffee, (simple present) I'm very thirsty. I want to drink something, (now)

People need money in order to live, (simple present) I need some money. Can you lend me some? (now)
