Present simple vs. continuous

De present simple en present continuous zijn allebei tegenwoordige tijden.

Er zit verschil in wanneer je welke moet gebruiken.

We gaan beginnen met de present simple.

Present Simple
(hoe, wanneer)

Present simple vs. continuous

De present simple is beter bekent als de SHIT-regel.

Je gebruikt de present simple bij feiten, gewoontes en dingen die regelmatig voorkomen.

SHE, HE & IT krijgen een S na het werkwoord.

I work in the garden every Saturday.                        Water boils at 100 degrees.

He works in the garden every Saturday.                 She runs faster.

S

H

I

T

-regel

Present simple vs. continuous

De SHIT-regel geldt niet alleen bij he, she & it.

De regel geldt ook als het gaat over:

 - 1 persoon (bijv. Bob, Jane, my father enz.)

 - 1 dier (the dog, cat, fish, cow, enz.) 

 - 1 ding (chair, table, computer, book enz.)

My father works at a construction company.

The dog sleeps a lot.                                 The computer works fine.

Kies de juiste vorm:
He ... fast.

1. run
2. runs

We ... in the garden.

Als het goed is kun je nu wat beter de present simple toepassen.

We gaan nu door met de present continuous.

Present Continuous
(hoe, wanneer)

Present simple vs. continuous

De present continuous gebruik je voor dingen die NU bezig zijn.

Ook gebruik je de continuous bij irritatie.

tip: In het Nederlands gebruik je vaak: "aan het"

Je maakt de continuous met:

am, is, are - werkwoord + ing

v.b. She is working in the garden right now.

Present simple vs. continuous

Hoe weet je wanneer je de continuous moet gebruiken?

Let op signaalwoorden in de zin:

- right now

- at the moment

- enz.

Present simple vs. continuous
