§1.2.
| The Present Indefinite | The Present Continuous |
| 1.Is used to express a regular, habitual activity (with the adverbs of frequency): At 8 o’clock I usually drive to work (=I start driving at 8 ) [3]. | 1.Can be used to describe a regular activity at acertain time: At 8 o’clock I’m usually driving to work, so phone me on my mobile (=I’m already in the process of driving) [3]. |
| 2. •Is used with speech act verbs (apologize, admit, advise, agree, beg, confess, congratulate, declare, deny, forbid, guarantee, name, order, permit, predict, promise, refuse, remind, request, say, swear, tell, thank, warn) to express declaration, announcement, observation referring to the moment of speech. In this case the speaker performs actions by saying the words[1]: It says here that the police expect more trouble in the city. I declare the exhibition over. •In a similar way, the Present Indefinite is used in formal statements and in business or legal communication (various verbs can be found in this case) [3]: I choose the first stage. I write to inform you that… I leave this letter open for everybody to read. | 2. •Can be used with some speech act verbs (apologize, deny, guarantee, promise, suggest) in negative sentences: I don’t deny/I’m not denying taking the books, but Andy said it would be OK [7]. • The continuous form is characteristic here of a less formal style (§1.3.). |
| 3.Is generally used to express suppositions, assertions characterizing the speaker’s attitude to the situation which is going on at the moment of speech: You leave me no choice [14]. You talk as if you were a child [14]. In a similar way, this use of the Present Indefinite relates to describing feelings and reactions or immediate perceptions experienced at the moment of speech[3]: Oh, mummy! That hurts! | |
| 4.Both the Present Continuous and Indefinite tenses can be found in live commentarieson events taking place at the moment, particularly on radio or and television. In such cases the Present Indefinite describes rapid actions completed at the moment of speaking while the Present Continuous describes longer-lasting actions[1,7]: MacFee passes to Franklyn. Franklyn makes a quick pass to Booth. Booth is away with the ball, but he’s losing his advantage. | |
| 5.Used when referring to the contents of books, films, etc.: In the film John Smithson takes a role of a private detective [7]. | 5.Expresses actions describing what is shown in different images (photos, pictures, etc.). It seems as if the actions were taking place before our eyes[3]: We can see Marry in the photo. She is sitting in the armchair. |
| 6.The Present Indefinite and the Present Continuous are used in the so-called “dramatic narration” in stories to make them vivid. The main events described in sequence are used with the present Indefinite and longer background events are described using the Present Continuous[1,3]: I am driving along this country road and I’m completely lost. Then I see this old fellow. He is leaning against a gate. I stop the car and ask him the way. | |
| 7.The Present Indefinite and the Present Continuous are used in newspaper headlines and photographic captions. | |
| The Present Indefinite is used to refer to past events[1]: FREAK SNOW STOPS TRAFFIC | The abbreviated Present Continuous refers to the future (the infinitive is also possible in this case) [1]: CABINET MINISTER RESIGNING SOON |
