Preguntas para practicar

¿Cuál es la diferencia principal entre el presente simple y el presente progresivo?

El presente simple describe rutinas, hechos y sentimientos, mientras que el presente progresivo describe acciones que están ocurriendo en el momento de hablar. El primero usa do/does como auxiliar y el segundo usa am/is/are con el verbo en -ing.

¿Por qué en la tercera persona singular se agrega -s o -es al verbo?

Porque en inglés el presente simple marca la concordancia de tercera persona (he, she, it) añadiendo -s o -es al verbo principal, mientras que con I, you, we, they el verbo queda en forma base.
