[00:00:00]Good morning. Today we will learn present simple and present continuous.

[00:00:04]Good morning. I always get confused.

[00:00:06]Don't worry, I will explain.

[00:00:08]Present simple is for daily routines.

[00:00:11]Like every day? Yes. [music] For example, I eat breakfast every morning.

[00:00:15]See? Present simple for daily routines.

[00:00:18]Present continuous is for actions happening now. Right now? Yes. For example, I am eating breakfast now. So what is the difference? Present simple is for habits. Present continuous is for now. Oh, I see. Let's practice. I play football. I play football. Good. Now change it to present continuous. [music] I am playing football. Can I say I am play football? No, you must say I am playing football. I understand now.

[00:00:48]Perfect, [music] Ben.

[00:00:50]For example, I work every day, but now I am working.

[00:00:54]>> That is easy.

[00:00:55]>> Exactly. Thank you, teacher. I will practice more. Great. Practice every day. See you next class.

[00:01:03]Goodbye, Ben.
