Englisch (UK) · Present

Present Simple oder Continuous?

Man benutzt das Present Simple für Gewohnheiten, Routinen, Fahrpläne und Fakten: She usually walks to work. Water boils at 100 degrees. (Sie geht normalerweise zu Fuß zur Arbeit. Wasser kocht bei 100 Grad.) Typische Signalwörter: usually, often, never, every day, once a month.

Man benutzt das Present Continuous (am / is / are + -ing) für Handlungen, die jetzt oder gerade geschehen: Look! It is snowing. Kate is learning Japanese at the moment. (Schau! Es schneit. Kate lernt gerade Japanisch.) Typische Signalwörter: now, right now, at the moment, Look!, Listen!

Zustandsverben beschreiben Gedanken, Gefühle und Besitz, keine Handlungen, deshalb bleiben sie auch gerade jetzt im Present Simple:

  • know, understand, remember, think (= glauben)
  • like, want, need, belong

Sag I don't understand this word — nicht I am not understanding.

Beispiele

  • I usually get up at seven.
  • Look! The bus is coming.
  • She works in a hospital.
  • Right now we're having dinner.
  • I don't know his address.
