Present Simple (Indefinite) and Present Continuous (Progressive)
Как правило, Present Simple обозначает обычное привычное действие в настоящем времени или просто факт, необусловленный никакими ограничениями в продолжительности времени.
E.g. I know English well.
I meet my boy-friend every day.
Sometimes I play tennis.
Note 1. Однако, данная форма может обозначать действие в будущем времени, которое обусловлено твердым графиком или расписанием.
E.g. The train leaves at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
Our English training course begins tomorrow at 5 p.m.
Note 2. Форма Present Simple употребляется для обозначения будущих действий в придаточных предложениях времени и условия, вводимых союзами: when, as soon as, after, before, till, until, by the time, if, in case, provided that. (В главном предложении глагол употребляется в форме будущего времени).
E.g. I’ll leave for China as soon as I get a visa.
They will not sign the contract, till we agree to a 5% discount.
We’ll start the negotiations in May in case our partners agree to it.
She will not miss the train only if she goes to the station by taxi.
Note 3. Форма Present Continuous также употребляется для обозначения будущего времени, но когда обозначаемое ею действие запланировано заранее.
E.g. We are leaving early in the morning tomorrow.
I won’t be able to come to your party because I’m meeting my mom at the station.
Note 4. Но в английском языке существует ряд глаголов, которые не могут употребляться в форме Continuous. В этом случае употребляется форма Simple, даже если присутствует грамматическое значение длительности, развития действия.
Вот эти глаголы:
to have (в значении «иметь» и в модальном значении);
to be (в значении «быть, находиться» и в модальном значении);
to see (в значении «видеть», но не «встречаться»);
to hear;
to know;
to understand;
to think (в значении «полагать, думать», но не «обдумывать»);
to suppose (полагать);
to believe (думать, полагать, но не «верить»);
to consider (считать, полагать, , но не «рассматривать»);
to taste(иметь вкус, но не «пробовать на вкус»);
to smell (пахнуть, но не «нюхать»);
to remember;
to want;
to need;
to prefer;
to consist of;
to contain;
to belong.
E.g. - Do you understand me now?
- Yes, I do understand, but I’m not sure you are right.
- I don’t know whether they are arriving tonight.
