Present Simple или Present Continuous
Тук сравняваме двете сегашни времена. Present Simple използваме за навици и неща, които се случват редовно (every day, usually, on Saturdays) или винаги са верни. Present Continuous използваме за действие, което става сега или днес, различно от обикновеното. Сигналните думи помагат да изберем вярното време.

- Present Simple: usually, always, often, never, every day
