Read these two sentences carefully, what is the main difference between them?
- My boss always speaks English to his partner in London.
- My boss is speaking English with his partner.
Great! As you may have thought, in the first sentence the verb "speaks" refers to a habitual action, something my boss usually does, that is why it is in the present simple. However, in the second sentence, the action takes place at the moment of speaking and therefore we need to use the present continuous.
Genial, tal y como te habrás dado cuenta, en la primera frase el verbo se refiere a una acción habitual, algo que mi jefe suele hacer cada día por ello va en presente simple. Por el contrario, la segunda frase habla de una acción que está teniendo lugar en el momento de hablar por ello va en presente continuo.
As you already know the Present continuous is used to express:
- Actions that take place at the moment of speaking E.g.
- I'm checking my emails at the moment.
- Mr. Parker is having lunch right now.
- Sometimes we use the present continuous to talk about the future. We use it when we want to talk about what we have already arranged to do.
- I'm meeting my colleagues tomorrow at 7.30 a.m.
- My boss is travelling to China on Friday morning.
Usamos el presente continuo para expresar:
- Acciones que tienen lugar en el momento de hablar.
- Acciones futuras ya planeadas de antemano o anotadas en una agenda
How to make the Present Continuous:
Affirmative Form:
Subject+ Verb To Be + main Verb + ING Paul is talking on the phone.
Negative Form:
Subject+ Verb To Be + NOT + main Verb + ING Joseph isn't reading the newspaper.
Interrogative Form:
Verb To Be + Subject + main Verb + ING + Complements + ? Is he working at the moment?
Common Present Continuous Time Expressions:
At the moment, now, today, this week, this month, tomorrow, next week (for future arrangements), currently.

2.4.- Pronunciation. The third Person Singular: Voiceless sounds.
Look and learn.
The -(e)s of the simple present tense is pronounced as /s/ after a voiceless sound, except /s/, /sh/, and /ch/. The voiceless sounds are sounds that are produced with no vibration of the vocal chords. The voiceless sounds in English are:
/f/, /k/, /p/, /s/, voiceless th (as in with), ch (as in watch), sh (as in wash)
Examples: laughs, talks, stops.
