Learn English Tenses: PRESENT SIMPLE or PRESENT CONTINUOUS?
“I work” or “I am working”? In this easy English lesson, you will learn the difference between the PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE (“I work”) and the PRESENT CONTINUOUS (PROGRESSIVE) TENSE (“I am working”). Many students get confused, because these two tenses do not exist in all languages. Here, we’ll review when to use each tense, how to form it, and what common mistakes to avoid. We’ll do practice exercises together, so you can understand the differences clearly. Then, you can check what you’ve learned by taking the review quiz on engVid. When you’re ready, move on to the past simple tense, the next class in my engVid series on English verb tenses. Keep taking your English to a higher level, step by step!

Hello every one, I have a question, what is the differences between get in and get on? When you want to enter in the car, plane, bus,etc. Which one do you prefer to use? Which one is correct, get in or get on?
Generally, if you can stand up in the vehicle, we say get on. If you can not stand up in it, we say get in. So we get in the car or taxi but get on the bus, bicycle, plane, train, etc.
Thank you, Rebecca! I got 9 correct out of 10.

Hi,
it’s been awhile since last lesson.
As always useful and pithy lesson. What will next lesson be about?
Maybe, present perfect? It’d be amazing, especially for me. I find it difficult to use that tense correctly.
Best wishes to everyone who learns English.
Take care and stay out of troubles.
Bye.

And and not learning “I learn”.

Rebecca, I am confused of the answer in #2 in the test question. I thought to sleep late is a negative statement so my answer was the second option but I was incorrect. Is the word ‘sleep’ a stative verb? Please help me. Thank you.
