El tiempo presente tiene dos formas diferentes para expresar situaciones: presente simple y presente continuo. Estos se usan para expresar acciones que ocurren en diferentes momentos.
El presente simple tiene dos maneras de manifestarse:
El presente continuo o presente progresivo, como también se le conoce, indica acciones que están ocurriendo en el momento y se forma con la estructura gramatical:
Pronoun + form of to be + verb + ing
** Ejemplo: ** We are dancing
Es decir, el presente continuo se forma a través de la combinación del presente simple más la terminación ING.

Para recordar a fondo el uso del presente simple con el verbo to be y otros verbos, puedes ir a esta clase. El presente simple se utiliza en los siguientes casos:
Ejemplo: The earth is the third planet from the sun.
** Ejemplo**: Every ten years is a decade.
Para hablar de hábitos, rutinas o hechos que se repiten en lapsos de tiempo determinado.
Ejemplo: I drink coffee every morning.
Cuando das indicaciones, instrucciones y señales.
Ejemplo: You go down this street to the cinema, then you turn right .
Para transmitir citas, hechos o compromisos que pasarán en un tiempo determinado.
Ejemplo: Tomorrow is my birthday!
Selecciona la palabra o frase correcta:
En este caso la acción se realiza todos los días. Es una acción permanente. No se está realizando en el momento. Por esta razón, se trata del tiempo presente simple.
En este caso se repite la misma explicación del ejercicio anterior.
En este caso, la acción se realiza en el mismo momento que se está hablando. Por tanto, se trata del tiempo presente continuo.
La principal diferencia entre el presente simple y presente continuo está en su uso. El presente continuo indica acciones que suceden mientras hablamos, mientras que el presente simple se utiliza para expresar acciones habituales o situaciones permanentes.
Estructura gramatical:
Sujeto + verbo to be + verbo en gerundio (ING) + complemento
Ejemplos:
You are watching a video.
Steve is washing his hair.
Listen! The birds are singing.
I am reading a great book.
Jack is learning Italian.
Estructura gramatical:
Sujeto + verbo to be + not + verbo en gerundio + complemento
Ejemplos:
I’m not watching TV now.
She isn’t doing her homework.
We aren’t playing now.
Peter is calling his brother.
Steven is having a shower.
Estructura gramatical:
Verbo to be + sujeto + verbo en gerundio + complemento + ?
Ejemplos:
Are you enjoying the party?
Is the bus coming?
Is she opening her presents?
Where are you going?
What is he doing right now?
Let’s practice

Is he watching TV?

Exercise
It’s the first time that i understand cleary the difference between present simple and simple continuous
La principal característica de este tiempo verbal es el uso del gerundio “-ing”, que en español puede traducirse como los gerundios “-ando” y “-endo”.
En este tiempo, el verbo to be se convierte en verbo auxiliar y el “-ing”, se conjuga con el verbo principal de la acción:
Where does your father work? (Simple Present)
is he working right now? (Present Continuous)
Where do you work? (Simple Present)
Are you working right now? (Present Continuous)
I’m a student. // I study at Platzi.

Hi, teacher, I think in the TIME TO PRACTICE section , at the end of the video, in the option # 3 there is a spelling mistake (I think it´s YOU , not YOUR , in this case).
Please, check it carefully.
Thanks for your great classes: I´ve loved them a lot!
