A day at home

📌 Remember: In English there are two forms that you use when you talk about activites in the present: The simple present and the present progressive

Erinnere dich: In der englischen Sprache gibt es zwei Formen, die man verwendet, um über Aktivitäten in der Gegenwart zu sprechen: Das Simple Present (einfache Gegenwart) und das Present Progressive (Verlaufsform der Gegenwart).

📝rule (Regel):

You use simple present when you talk about habits and things that happen regularly.
Das Simple Present benutzt du, wenn du über Gewohnheiten sprichst oder wenn etwas regelmäßig stattfindet.

💥 Signal words (Signalwörter): every week, in the morning, every Sunday, on Mondays, never, always, ...

📝rule (Regel):

You need the present progressive when you say, what someone is doing now / at the moment.
Mit dem Present Progressive kannst du sagen, was jemand gerade (now) tut oder was im Moment (at the moment) passiert.

💥 Signal words (Signalwörter): now, at the moment, Look!

Homework

Noah is tidying up his room. It isn’t very tidy. "Where are you, Mum? Please come and help me!" His mum is working in the kitchen. "Sorry, I am making dinner. Ask one of your siblings."

Noah’s dog Rocky walks into his bedroom. Rocky is dirty. He jumps onto Noah’s bed and pushes Noah’s school bag off the bed. The school bag falls onto the floor. "Rocky! Don’t do that! I’m tidying up my room. Go downstairs, now! Go to your basket in the kitchen." Rocky doesn’t want to go, so Noah takes him downstairs.

Downstairs, Rocky walks to his basket in the kitchen und Noah goes into the living room. There, his sister Aylin is watching TV, she is watching a film. Noah looks at her. "Is the film good, Aylin?" – "No, it’s boring" – "Then come and help me tidy up my room, please!"

Aylin now looks at Noah. "Sorry, Noah. I can’t help you, I’m doing my homework." – "But you’re watching a film! You’re not doing your homework!" – "Yes, I am. The film is my homework!"

Noah looks at the TV and thinks, "Aylin is silly. The film is really good!". Then, he has a good idea: "Let’s swap, Aylin! You can tidy up my bedroom and I can do your homework!"
