Grammar Rule

Examples

I play tennis every Sunday.                                                         العب كرة المضرب كل أحد 

I’m playing hockey now.                                                                              ألعب الهوكي الآن 

She eats fruit every day.                                                                              تأكل الفواكه يوميا 

She’s eating an apple now.                                                                          تأكل التفاح الان 

Remember!

We use the present simple to talk about routines – what you do every day or every week. We use the present continuous to talk about things you are doing now. 

نستعمل المضارع البسيط للتحدث عن الأشياء التي نمارسها يوميا او اسبوعيا.  و يستعمل المضارع المستمر للتحدث عن الأشياء التي نفعلها في الوقت ذاته.

I watch cartoons every day.                                                                    اشاهد الرسوم المتحركة كل يوم

I’m watching a film now.                                                                                           اشاهد الفلم الان  

Be careful!

For the present simple, add ‘s’ or ‘es’ for he/she/it. Make the negative with ‘don’t’ or ‘doesn’t’. For the present continuous, use the verb ‘to be’ and ‘-ing’. Add ‘not’ to make the negative.  

My dad makes dinner every evening. He doesn’t make lunch.
