While having a conversation lesson this morning, two things popped up that I thought I could share with you.
1. We don’t use the Present Simple to express something that is happening now.
I work now. (Lavoro ora)- I am working now. (Present Continuous is the right tense in this case)
2. We don’t use the Present Simple to express an immediate decision or reaction.
- Just a second!
I makeyou a copy. (Un attimo! Ti faccio una copia) - Just a second! I will make you a copy. (Future WILL is the right tense in this case)
If you keep these two high frequency mistakes in mind, you can speak a little more accurately. Yeah!
Found this useful? Like it to let us know.
Lem..xo!
