So let’s rock’n’roll!

Present Simple and Present Continuous.

Just let me remind you that we use Present Simple for actions that repeat regularly, for scientific facts and something that is always true. On the other hand, we use Present Continuous for actions happening now or around now. For more information on the topic go to:

IV Make predictions about the future. What do you think will or won’t happen?
