Preguntas para practicar
¿Cuál es la diferencia principal entre el presente simple y el presente progresivo?
El presente simple se usa para 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 am/is/are + verbo en -ing.
¿Por qué en tercera persona singular se agrega -s o -es al verbo?
Es una regla de concordancia del inglés: con he, she, it el verbo principal lleva -s o -es en presente simple, y en negativo e interrogativo se usa does/doesn't en lugar de do/don't.
