Present simple and present continuous W hy is th e g irl in th e p h o to sm iling? Why is the girl in the photo smiling? It sounds like an easy question: she’s having a good time with friends and she's feeling good after a good shot But psychologists are forever arguing about this :stion Some believe that smiling is an individual act: we smile because we feel happy unless we're trying to hide our emotions Others claim that we smile to build social relationships Some animals use a grin to show that they don’t want to fight, for example, so perhaps our smile serves the same function So w ho's right? In one study, researchers filmed people bowling If you watch people doing a very social activity like this, it looks as if they’re always smiling They stop smiling only when they are concentrating on their next shot But when they start smiling again? After each good shot, the researchers took photographs to identify when the smile starts - while the player is still looking down the alley or a few seconds later when they turn round to share their happiness with the group? And the results? Only around 4% of bowlers smile with their backs to their friends Far more - 42% - smile as soon as they turn round The conclusion: we usually smile not because w e're happy, but because we’re friendly A bow ler smiles a t W h at are the tw o theories o f smiling? W h y did the researchers choose a bowling alley? her friends after a good shot ‘XiiAipe |Bpos XjsA e S| 3u!|Moq asneaag z sd iL|su o ijp |sj |epos p|mq oj a||ujs m :Xddeq )aa; m asneaaq a||uis a/v\ x : s j m s u v P re sen t s im p le an d p r e se n t co n tin u o u s Present simple Use the present simple to refer to facts and specific routines or habits, and with adverbs o f frequency We smile because we feel happy We usually smile because w ere friendly W e usually use the present simple with state verbs such as think, feel, believe, know, seem, appear, like, consist, have and belong Some believe that smiling is an individual act We also often use the present simple to describe events shown in a picture, to make them seem more immediate and alive For the same reason, we usually use the present simple in news headlines and in television or radio commentaries on sports or other ongoing events A bowler smiles at her friends AndJake heads the ball to Gallant - who kicks and it's a goal! We usually use the present simple to refer to situations which we see as permanent, and the present continuous to refer to situations which we see as temporary Note the difference: Tom lives in Rome He works as a lawyer for a big Italian company (Rome is his permanent base.) Jane is living in Rome at the moment She is working as an English teacher (She is in Rome temporarily, e.g for one year.) Prince William visits local hospital When we tell stories or to give instructions, we use the present simple to describe the shorter actions and events and the present continuous to describe the longer situations or background activity Gavin and his wife are sitting at home one evening when the telephone rings and their lives change for ever First, you fry the onion in a little oil While the onion’s cooking, you chop the vegetables Use the present simple in the expressions Here come(s) „ and There go(es) There goes Mike, looking as cheerful as usual NOT Use the present simple with verbs like promise, agree, assure and demand, which are used to perform the act they describe I prom ise I won't be late (I am using these words to make a promise.) 10 Although we usually use the present simple with state verbs (see above), we can use the present continuous if we are talking about an ongoing present process rather than a fact She's feeling good after a good shot Some verbs (e.g hear, see, think, appear) can be state verbs or action verbs, but with a different meaning What you think o f Jan's new hairstyle? (= What’s your opinion about it?) I’m thinking o f taking a few days off (= I'm considering the possibility o f doing it.) Present continuous Use the present continuous to refer to activities, situations and changes happening now / around now while the player is still looking down the alley W e can use the present continuous with indefinite adverbs o f frequency (e.g always, constantly, forever) to refer to regular behaviour which is typical, habitual and predictable Psychologists are forever arguing about this question In the present simple, see and hear have different meanings I see him every day (= I see) I see what you mean (= I understand) I hear you loud and clear (= I hear) I hear you're coming to stay (= I have been told) We sometimes use the present continuous in this way to criticise or express disapproval Sally's always losing things She should be more careful When we describe an action or event with the present simple, we can use the present continuous to refer to activities, situations and changes happening around the same tim e I f you watch a group o f friends bowling, it looks as if they're always smiling Present simple or present continuous 11 We use the present simple with verbs like hope and look forw ard to in formal situations, and we use the present continuous if we want to sound more informal and less direct We very much hope you will be able to attend We’re really hoping you'll be able to come I look forw ard to hearing from you in the near future I'm looking forw ard to hearing from you soon The present simple is much more common than the present continuous, and it is the best form to use if you are not sure Present simple and present continuous P r a c tic e A Underline the correct option Ice melts / is melting above 0*C Have you got an umbrella? It sta rts/is starting to rain Gabriela looks lovely today - she wears/ is wearing her new dress Paul’s daughter lives in Spain - he visits/is visiting her two or three times a year There goes/is going Maggie, on her way to work, I suppose Don’t worry, I promise/am promising I won’t tell anyone your secret This carpet gets/is getting very dirty - maybe we should wash it That’s great tennis from Thompson as he hits/ is hitting another winning shot into the corner!
