Now Let´s go on with Present Continuous!
¿Quieres saber qué es el present continuous? Pregúntate a ti mismo o a otra persona qué está haciendo en este preciso instante.
Los cinco usos principales del present continuous son:
Describir acciones que ocurren en el momento exacto en que se habla o escribe
Ejemplo: You are studying English.
Establecer contextos. Hablar de situaciones generales, personales o sociales, que ocurren en la actualidad. En estos casos, se puede acompañar por adverbios como currently, lately o these days, entre otros.
Ejemplo: She is working a lot lately.
Adelantar hechos, citas, eventos o acciones que ocurrirán en el futuro. Quien habla debe estar seguro de que ocurrirán.
Ejemplo: They are going to the zoo next Saturday.
Mencionar hechos temporales.
Ejemplo: Today is snowing, but yesterday was sunny.
5. Describir acciones que ocurren constantemente. En estos casos la oración se refuerza con adverbios como always, forever, constantly, entre otros.
Ejemplo: The birds are always singing since sunrise

Unit 1 Present continuous and present simple 1
1. Stative verbs, которые можно использовать в Continuous
Обычно stative verbs не используются в Continuous, но в некоторых случаях (временность, процесс, изменение) это возможно.
2. Mental state verbs в Continuous
Некоторые глаголы, описывающие ментальные состояния, могут использоваться в Continuous, чтобы показать, что мы начали что-то осознавать или не уверены.
Важно: Глагол consider (в значении «обдумывать») всегда используется в Continuous:
He's considering taking early retirement. (не ~~He considers taking~~)
3. Performatives (глаголы-действия)
Performatives — глаголы, которые сами являются действием. Их произнесение уже является выполнением действия (обещание, совет, отказ и т.д.).
В утвердительных предложениях используются в Present Simple:
I promise to help you. (я обещаю — само произнесение и есть обещание)
We suggest you leave now. (мы советуем — совет даётся здесь и сейчас)
Список: acknowledge, admit, advise, apologise, beg, confess, congratulate, declare, deny, forbid, guarantee, name, order, permit, predict, promise, refuse, remind, request, thank, warn
В отрицательных предложениях возможны оба варианта (Simple и Continuous) с почти одинаковым значением:
I don't deny taking the books. ≈ I'm not denying taking the books.
I don't promise anything. ≈ I'm not promising anything.
С модальными глаголами — для вежливости или неуверенности:
I would advise you to arrive early.
I must beg you to keep this secret.

Dear Aunt Mara,
Thanks for your message. I appologise for not getting back to you sooner, but I've been incredibly busy. When I went into nursing, you warned me that it would be really hard work, but I admit that I didn't really believe you. Don't get me wrong - I don't suggest/ am not suggesting that I'm not enjoying it. It's incredibly rewarding, but I now realise/ 'm now realising how hard the job is. When I get home I just eat (not very well, I confess) and go straight to bed. It doesn't help that the bus journey to the hospital is so slow. I'm considering buying a car, which will make things easier, I hope.
And what about you?How do you find/ are you finding living in a village after so many years in the city? I know how difficult it is for you to travel such a long way, but it would be lovely if you could come and stay with me for a weekend. I've got plenty of room in my flat. I don't guarantee/ am not guaranteeing to cook as well as you do, but I promise to find time to show you around this lovely old town.
Hope to see you soon. Keep in touch.
Love,
Martina
learning this sentence construction in dutch!
hij ligt te slapen: he is sleeping
ik sta te praten: I am talking
we staan nog steeds te wachten: we are still waiting
where liggen and staan become to be in the translation??
idk I'm fascinated by present continuous in different languages, where in french you'd have to add 3 WORDS "en train de" +infinitive but mandarin chinese simplifies it with 在 （ex: 他在說話) (or 正在 to emphasize the present moment) but these focus on the time element, dutch introduces position verbs? for present continuous? it's confusing but strangely compelling
