现在还是每天？ (A1)

说此刻正在发生的事，用 am / is / are + -ing。

正在发生

Look, Amina is reading.
The children are playing in the park.
I am eating my lunch.
Not "Amina reads, right this minute." — say "Amina is reading, right this minute.". 说此刻的事要用 is + reading，不是 reads。

说一个习惯性、一再重复的动作，用动词原形（he/she/it 加 -s）。

Amina reads every evening.
Hiroshi walks to school.
We play soccer on Sundays.
Not "Amina is reading every evening." — say "Amina reads every evening.". 反复做的习惯要用一般现在时 reads，不是 is + reading。

这个你已经会搭了：I am，he / she / it is，you / we / they are，后面接 -ing 形式。以 -e 结尾的动词怎么拼你也知道：write → writing，make → making。

I am eating my lunch.
He is writing. (write → writing)
You are playing.
Not "She are writeing." — say "She is writing.". he / she / it 搭配 is（不是 are），write 要去掉 e：writing，不是 "writeing"。
试一试: Sofia: Where is Mei? Maya: In her room. She ___ reading a book right now. 补全 Maya 说的话。 (is / are / am) 答案: is — he / she / it 搭配 is：She is reading. are 是给 you / we / they 用的，am 只给 I 用。
试一试: Sofia: What is Diego doing? Maya: He is ___ a letter. 补全 Maya 说的话。 (writing / writeing / writting) 答案: writing — "Write" 以 e 结尾，所以加 -ing 前要去掉 e：writing（不是 "writeing"）。

he / she / it 说习惯时的词尾你已经知道了：read → reads，有些动词加 -es：go → goes，watch → watches，do → does。

She reads every evening.
He goes to work by bus. (go → goes)
Mei watches TV after dinner. (watch → watches)
Not "He gos to work." — say "He goes to work.". go 要加 -es：goes，不是 "gos"。
试一试: My brother ___ to school every day. (goes / gos / go) 答案: goes — he / she / it 的时候，go 要加 -es：goes（不是 "gos"）。"My brother" 就是 he，所以别直接用原形 "go"。

说此刻的事，否定用 am not / isn't / aren't + -ing。说习惯，否定用 don't / doesn't + 动词原形。

Amina isn't reading now.
The children aren't playing.
Amina doesn't read in the morning.
We don't play on Mondays.
Not "Amina doesn't reading now." — say "Amina isn't reading now.". 此刻的事用 isn't + reading。习惯用 doesn't + read（动词原形）。

问此刻正在发生的事，开头用 Am / Is / Are + 主语 + -ing? 问习惯，开头用 Do / Does + 主语 + 动词原形?

Is she reading?
Are they playing?
Does he go to the gym?
Do you read at night?
Not "Does she reading now?" — say "Is she reading now?". 此刻的事用 Is / Are + -ing。习惯用 Do / Does + 动词原形。
试一试: 现在是 7:42。Amina 在沙发上，手里拿着她的书。此刻发生的是哪一个？ (She is reading. / She reads.) 答案: She is reading. — 这件事此刻正在发生，所以用 is + reading。"She reads" 会表示这是她常做的习惯，而不是此刻正在发生的事。
试一试: Hiroshi 的一周：周一、周三、周五去健身房。每周都一样。哪句描述的是他的习惯？ (He goes to the gym. / He is going to the gym.) 答案: He goes to the gym. — 他反复做的习惯 → 用一般现在时 goes。"He is going" 是此刻正在发生的一件事，不是他一再重复做的事。

看时间词。Now 和 right now 指的是此刻，所以用 am / is / are 加 -ing 形式。Every day 和 on Mondays 指的是习惯，所以动词不加 -ing。

Right now Lars is walking to work.
Every day Lars walks to work.
Mei is reading now.
Not "Every day Amina is reading in the park." — say "Every day Amina reads in the park.". Every day 说的是习惯，所以动词不加 -ing：reads。
试一试: Diego，此刻（right now）。 Diego，每个星期六（every Saturday）。把它们配对。每个时间该用哪种形式？答案: Diego，此刻（right now）。 → He is cooking. · Diego，每个星期六（every Saturday）。 → He cooks. — 看时间词来决定。Right now（此刻）是 Diego 正在经历的这一刻，所以用 is cooking；every Saturday（每个星期六）是习惯，所以用 cooks。
试一试: 此刻 Amina 在窗边。她的书放在桌上。她此刻没有在看书，该怎么说？ (She isn't reading. / She doesn't read.) 答案: She isn't reading. — 说的是此刻，所以用 isn't + reading。"She doesn't read" 会表示她从来没有看书的习惯，而不是她此刻停下来了。
试一试: Mei 的一周：周二、周六踢足球。你想问一问这件事。该怎么问她的习惯？ (Does she play soccer? / Is she playing soccer?) 答案: Does she play soccer? — 她一再重复的习惯 → 用 Does + play 来问。"Is she playing?" 问的是此刻正在发生的一件事，不是她的习惯。

有几个动词即使说的是此刻，通常也不加 -ing。Like、want 和 know 就是其中三个：要说 I like it 和 I want one，不说 I am liking it。

I want a coffee now.
Mei likes this book.
I know her name.
Not "I am wanting a sandwich." — say "I want a sandwich.". Want 不加 -ing，即使你说的就是此刻。
试一试: Sofia: Do you know Mateo? Maya: Yes, I ___ him. 补全 Maya 说的话。 (am knowing / know / knows) 答案: know — Know 即使说的是此刻也不用 -ing 形式，所以答案是 know。Am knowing 给这个动词加了它不用的 -ing，而 knows 是跟 he、she、it 搭配的形式。

Amina doesn't reading now.	Amina isn't reading now.	此刻的事用 isn't + reading。习惯用 doesn't + read（动词原形）。

Every day Amina is reading in the park.	Every day Amina reads in the park.	Every day 说的是习惯，所以动词不加 -ing：reads。
I am wanting a sandwich.	I want a sandwich.	Want 不加 -ing，即使你说的就是此刻。
