PRESENT SIMPLE or PRESENT PROGRESSIVE (CONTINUOUS TENSE) (Prosto ili trajno sadašnje vreme)

 U srpskom jeziku imamo samo jedno sadašnje vreme,

dok u engleskom postoje dva sadasnja vremena, 

da bi se napravila razlika između 

-  uobičajenih radnji u sadašnjosti (Present Simple) i

-  onih koje se dešavaju u trenutku govora i traju duže (Present Continuous).
