Die konsequente Verwendung der Zeiten wird dadurch erschwert, dass es die Verlaufsform (Present Progressive) im Deutschen so nicht gibt.

Deshalb muss klar analysiert werden, ob Handlungen und Tätigkeiten regelmäßig stattfinden (oft durch adverbs of Frequency angezeigt) oder ob betont werden soll, dass etwas gerade oder nur vorübergehend geschieht (Signalwörter: Look! Listen! just, now …).

Infografik: Kontrastierung Present Simple vs. Present Progressive


Be Careful!

Remember? Use the Present Progressive for actions which happen now and the Present Simple for regular actions.
