PRESENT CONTINUOUS

SIMPLE & CONTINUOUS

Je hebt al de werkwoordstijd present simple geleerd.  Deze gebruik je voor situaties in het heden, of voor dingen die gewoon zo zijn. 

Voor elke Simple tijd is er ook een Continuous. Die speelt zich af in dezelfde tijd (hier het heden) maar je zegt er iets anders mee. 

Wat is het verschil? 

I play football                    -             Okay,  but are you playing now? 

I watch Netflix a lot        -            Okay, but are you watching now? 
                                                                (I hope not) 

Simple :  het is waar over jou 
Continuous:  het is nu bezig.                                        

Hierover straks meer - nu eerst wat anders.
