Present Tenses?
The 'Present Tenses' (Tegenwoordige Tijd) all describe actions that are happening right now. 

"I walk to school every day"
"She is a great football player"
"We are listening to music together."

Slide 4 - Slide

Present Tenses?
As you can see there are different ways of making the Present. The Present Simple and Present Continuous.

"I walk to school every day"
"She is a great football player"
"We are listening to music together."

Slide 5 - Slide

What is the difference between the two?
It can make a very big difference when you're using the wrong tense. There are a two important things that make them different:

  • Betekenis         (What does the sentence mean?
  • Vorm                (How is the tense formed?)

Slide 6 - Slide

Betekenis
When we use the Present Simple, we are talking about things that are always happening:

I walk to school every day. 
The sun always rises in the east.
He likes pizza.   -->  He likes pizza today, tomorrow and right now

Slide 7 - Slide

Meaning
When we use the Present Continuous, we are talking about things that are happening right now:

I am walking to school right now. 
He is enjoying this music.
The sun is rising. 

Slide 8 - Slide

Right now
Always
Which of these actions is happening right now? Which ones are always happening?
He is talking.
She loves that music.
I am a boy.
We are listening to you.
That is fun!

Slide 9 - Drag question

Form
When we make the Present Simple we only need a verb. We add an -s with the SHIT-rule:

I walk to school every day. 
The sun always rises in the east.
He likes pizza. 

Slide 10 - Slide

Form
When we make questions (vragen) in the Present Simple we also add 'do' or 'does' (SHIT-rule) to the beginning of the sentence. The original -s in the SHIT-rule disappears:

Do I walk to school every day?
Does the sun always rise in the east?
Does he like pizza?

Slide 11 - Slide

Form
When we make negations (ontkenningen) in the Present Simple we also add 'do' or 'does' (SHIT-rule) and 'not' to the beginning of the sentence. The original -s in the SHIT-rule disappears:

I do not walk to school every day.
The sun does not always rise in the east.
He does not like pizza.

Slide 15 - Quiz

Form
When we make the Present Continuous we first choose between am/are/is. Then we add the verb + ing. When the verb ends with an -e we delete that to make space for the -ing.

I am walking to school right now. 
He is enjoying this music.
The sun is rising.     (rise)

When we make questions in the Present Continuous we simply put the am/are/is at the beginning of the sentence.

Is he enjoying this music?
Is the sun rising?

Form
When we make negations in the Present Continuous we simply put 'not' between am/are/is and the verb.
