Present Simple vs. Present Continuous – What’s the Difference?

Confused about when to use “I go” and when to say “I’m going”?

Let’s break it down clearly — with real-life examples!

مش عارف تقول I go ولا I’m going؟
تعالى نفهم الفرق بطريقة سهلة وسريعة 💡

📘 1. Present Simple = for facts, habits, and routines

نستخدمه لما نتكلم عن الحقيقة، العادات، أو الروتين.

Examples:

I go to work at 8 AM.
She drinks tea every morning.
The sun rises in the east.

أمثلة:

I go to work at 8 AM. = بروح الشغل الساعة ٨
She drinks tea every morning. = هي بتشرب شاي كل يوم الصبح
The sun rises in the east. = الشمس بتطلع من الشرق

📗 2. Present Continuous = for actions happening now or around now

نستخدمه لما نتكلم عن حاجة بتحصل دلوقتي أو في الوقت ده.

Examples:

I’m going to work now.
She’s drinking tea right now.
They’re playing football at the moment.

أمثلة:

I’m going to work now. = أنا رايح الشغل دلوقتي
She’s drinking tea right now. = هي بتشرب شاي حاليًا
They’re playing football now. = هما بيلعبوا كورة دلوقتي

⚠️ Compare These Sentences:

He reads a book. ✅ (He does this often – habit)
He’s reading a book. ✅ (He’s doing it right now)

الفرق:
He reads = بيقرا دايمًا
He’s reading = بيقرا دلوقتي

📝 How to Form the Tenses:

Tense	Formula	Example
Present Simple	Subject + base verb	I eat / He eats
Present Continuous	Subject + am/is/are + verb+ing	I am eating / She is eating

🎯 Tips to Remember:

Use Present Simple for: every day, always, usually, often
Use Present Continuous for: now, at the moment, currently, today

كلمات مفتاحية تساعدك:

Present Simple: always, every day

Present Continuous: now, at the moment
