ex 6 Put the time phrases into the correct columns

Привет! Давай разберемся с этим упражнением. Нам нужно распределить временные выражения по колонкам в зависимости от того, с каким временем они обычно используются: Present Simple или Present Continuous.

Итак, давай начнем:

1. now (сейчас) — typically used with Present Continuous, because it refers to something happening at the very moment of speaking.
2. usually (обычно) — Present Simple, since it indicates a habitual action.
3. often (часто) — Present Simple, as it also describes regular frequency.
4. every day (каждый день) — Present Simple, again for regular actions.
5. at the moment (в данный момент) — Present Continuous, since it's similar to 'now' and refers to the current time.
6. once a week (раз в неделю) — Present Simple, for regular events happening with a specific frequency.
7. always (всегда) — This one can be tricky, but it's typically Present Simple for habitual actions. However, it can be used with Present Continuous when we want to emphasize a repeated action that is irritating or surprising.
8. twice a week (дважды в неделю) — Present Simple, for the same reason as 'once a week'.
9. today (сегодня) — This can be used with both, but if we're talking about the whole day in a general sense, it's usually Present Simple. For something that's happening just now or around the current time, Present Continuous.

Подводя итоги, ты можешь расположить их так:

Present Simple: usually, often, every day, once a week, twice a week, (today for general sense), (always for habitual actions) Present Continuous: now, at the moment, (today for current activities), (always for annoying/repeated actions)
