Hello, and welcome to BBC Learning English. I’m Phil.  

And I’m going to tell you how you can talk about actions in the present. So the question is – do you say ‘I’m doing something’ or ‘I do something’?

What you need to ask is – is it something that you’re doing right now? Or is it something that is always true?

So for example, if I say ‘I’m drinking coffee.’ It’s true right now!

If you want to talk about what you do every day – I get up at 6 o’clock. I leave home at 7. It’s always true!

Now we know you’re watching a video right now.

用法总结

Present continuous vs present simple
现在进行时和一般现在时

1. To talk about something that you are doing right now, use the present continuous tense.
描述正在进行的动作，用现在进行时。

• I‘m drinking coffee.
• You‘re watching a video.

2. To talk about something that is always true, use the present simple tense. 
描述习惯性动作，用一般现在时。

• I get up at 6 o’clock.
• I leave home at 7.
