Present Simple
As I mentioned on the last posting, present simple tense is not used as much as we think.
Only 3 per cent of present tense is simple tense in our everyday life.
Actually the present simple hardly means the present situation. Most of time the exact present statement alter to PRESENT CONTINUOUS tense.
For example,
a) I take a shower.
b) I am take a shower.
What do you think I am describing you the statement of NOW?
The answer is b)
In the case of 'a)' it describe a habit that I always have time taking shower everyday.
But, in sentence 'b)', it does not refer whether I take shower everyday but I my statement of NOW is taking shower.
For example,
a) I take a shower.
b) I am take a shower.
What do you think I am describing you the statement of NOW?
The answer is b)
In the case of 'a)' it describe a habit that I always have time taking shower everyday.
But, in sentence 'b)', it does not refer whether I take shower everyday but I my statement of NOW is taking shower.
Make it simple. Present Simple tense is used in these cases.
1. Unchangeable or general Truth
ex) The earth goes around the sun in a year.
2. Habit or regularly happened events(routine)
ex) I go Seoul high school.
3. Using verbs cannot be used as -ing forms
ex) I love you. I have a 10 dollar bill.
4. Narratives
ex) I put an egg into this bowl.(In a cooking class), Choo Shinsoo hit a home-run.
5. Scheduled events in the near future
ex) My friend Tae-Seung opens his own Cafe tomorrow at 2PM.
6. Events at any time in the future in a dependent clause.
ex) Tae-Seung will marry when he reaches 45-year-old.
7. Virtual story telling
ex) Snow white bites the apple given from her old lady-costumed step mother.
As we reviewed today, the present tense is rarely used.
P.S. Sorry Tae-Seung! you can marry soon! lol
