При изучаването на английски език първите две глаголни времена, с които учениците се запознават, са Present Simple Tense (Сегашно Просто Време) и Present Progressive (Continuous) Tense (Сегашно Продължително Време). В курса на kabinata.bg те се изучават в нивото, в което аз преподавам – Fast Start 2. Когато ги разглеждаме по отделно и правим упражненията към съответния урок, курсистите ми нямат никакви проблеми и бързо се справят с поставените им задачи. В момента обаче, в който трябва сами да решат кое от двете глаголни времена да използват и как да формулират изреченията си, те често се обърктат и в повечето случаи сливат двете времена. Затова прилагам едно примерно сравнение на двете глагални времена, с което да е по-лесно да се разграничават и да се използват правилно.

Ако имаме някъкво изречение как да разбера в кое време да го превърна Present Progressive (Continuous) Tense или Present Simple Tense
Например:What(eat)……you……?
Благодаря, предварително за информацията.
Няма как да се разбере освен ако го пише в условието. Може и в двата варианта да се направи, ако питаме някой какво яде в момента се използва Present Progressive, ако питаме по принцип – Present Simple.
