    Present simple or continuous


    Present continuous :

    We use the present continuous for things happening at or around the time of speaking.

    The action is not completed.

    Example:

    It is raining now.

    She's learning Spanish.

     

    Present simple:

    We use the present simple for things in general or things that happen repeatedly.

    Example:

    My parents live in Paris.

    I always get up at 7 o'clock.

     

    Below is an exercise with ten phrases to resolve. Between parentheses you can read the verbs you'll have to use.
