Present Simple vs Present Continuous (核心对比)

定义 / 说明

Present Simple 用于日常习惯、惯常行为和事实。Present Continuous 用于正在发生的动作暂时情况。两种形式可以描述相似行为,但含义不同。I work here 是常态事实,而 I am working here this week 是暂时安排。这个对比是日常英语里最重要的时态选择之一。

关键规则

  • present simple 表示习惯:I work here every day.
  • present simple 表示事实:Water boils at 100°C.
  • present continuous 表示正在发生:I am working right now.
  • present continuous 表示暂时情况:She is living with her aunt this month.
  • 时间词有提示作用:every day 常配 present simple;now / today / at the moment 常配 present continuous。
