Read this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk."

I wonder, when I look at the bombed out peasant hamlets, the orphans begging and stealing on the streets of Saigon and the women and children with napalm burns lying on the hospital cots, whether the United States or any nation has the right to inflict this suffering and degradation on another people for its own ends.<span>

B: Of course. What time (41) <u>does</u> Your flight <u>leave</u>?

A:  At two. But I (42)<u>am not doing </u> Anything in the morning. You could help me pack my bags!

Explanation:

  • We use the present simple to talk about habits, facts and arranged timetables like the train or flight schedules.

<u>To write affirmative sentences in present simple:</u>

He/she/it + verb +s

For example, He eats lunch at noon every day.

We/you/they/you +verb

For example, We eat lunch at noon every day.

Note that the verb is without the s.

<u>To write negative sentences in present simple:</u>

He/she/it + does not / doesn't + verb

For example, He doesn't like broccoli.

We/you/they/you + do not / don't +verb

For example, We don't like broccoli.

<u>To write questions in present simple:</u>

Does + he/she/it + verb ?

For example, Does he like chocolate?

Do + we/you/they/you + verb?

For example, do you like chocolate?

<u>36, 37, and 41 use the present simple to talk about timetables and schedules regarding the audition and flights. </u>

  • We use the present continuous to talk about ongoing actions at the moment or arranged plans for the future.

<u>To write affirmative sentences in present continuous:</u>

He/she/it + is +verb +ing

For example, He is cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are + verb +ing

For example, We are leaving tomorrow.

<u>To write negative sentences in present continuous:</u>

He/she/it + is not / isn't +verb +ing

For example, he isn't cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are not/ aren't + verb +ing

For example, We aren't leaving tomorrow.

<u>To write questions in present continuous:</u>

Is + he/she/it +verb +ing?

For example, Is he cooking dinner at the moment?

Are + we/you/they/you + verb +ing?

For example, are you leaving tomorrow?

<u>34, 35, 38, 39, 40, and 42 use the present continuous to talk about plans for the future. The main difference with the present simple in this aspect is that even though we can use both tenses to talk about the future, the present simple is for timetables and the present continuous, for plans</u> or arranged dates that we or others make.
