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!
