Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not all verbs can be used in continuous tenses; state verbs such as 'know', 'understand', 'belong', 'like', 'see', 'hear' are not normally used in continuous forms.

Present Continuous can also be used for planned future events, e.g., ‘We are going to Goa tomorrow.’

We can use 'always' with Present Continuous for any habit.

Memory Tips
