Grammar: Simple Present and Present Continuous

Which tense is mostly used in the paragraph about identity? Simple present.
Why? It’s about habits and traditions and things which are always true or happen all the time.

Which tense is mostly used in the paragraph about decoration? Present continuous.
Why? It’s about things happening “now” (in the moment the picture was taken).
---
continuous = [be] + verb(ing)
present continuous = am/is/are + verb(ing)
+	I am listening to the class.
- 	I am not listening to the class.
?y/n	Am I listening to the class? Yes, you are. / No, you’re not.
	Are you listening to the class? Yes, I am. / No, I’m not.
info.	What are you doing? I’m listening to the class.
	Who is listening to the class? (“who” is the subject and this is a subject question)

(Who lives here? - subject question / Where do you live? - “normal” question)
---
p. 11 part 10 - Ask questions to all the other students to find out who does these things most often. Ask follow-up questions to find out more information about your classmates.
---
part 8 - Which of these time expressions usually go with which tense?
simple present: on weekends, every day, never, always, often, usually
present continuous: right now, this month, this week, at the moment, this fall, today

Stative and Dynamic verbs (p. 11 part 6)

Can we say, “I am wanting lunch right now”?
No, because “want” is a stative (non-action) verb.

Verbs in present continuous must be dynamic (action) verbs.
Actions take time, they start and stop and can be interrupted.

Many verbs have both dynamic and stative meanings:
I am having lunch right now. I have lunch at 12 every day. - dynamic, means “eat”
I have one sister. - stative, means something like “possess”

She is having a baby right now. - dynamic, means “bearing” or “birthing” (neither one is a common word)
She has a new baby now. - stative, like “I have one sister”
---
part 7 - Complete the sentences with the simple present or present continuous forms of the verbs.
1 a think (“think (that)” = belief or opinion, stative)
  b are thinking (“think about” or “think of” = usually dynamic)
2 a come (origin = stative)
  b are coming (travel = dynamic)
3 a love
  b is loving (= really enjoying, informal)
---
p. 12 part 2 - With your new partner, choose the correct word for each definition, and say if you associate any color with this word.
1 prosperity (prosperous)
2 luck (lucky)
3 courage (courageous)
4 wisdom (wise)
5 knowledge (knowledgeable)
6 sadness (sad)
