I think she actually expected (Past tense) me to do them for her. She is so annoying! She is always leaving her dirty dishes in the sink (is Present Continuous sentence?). I think she actually expects me to do them for her. Both are correct, right? But May I know why I can't use the present tense in this sentence? Because in this sentence is "Habit", right?

	Optilang  +  548529 Wed, 30 Jul 08 09:23 AM Hi She is so annoying! She always leaves her dirty dishes in the sink. I think she actually expects me to do them for her. You can use the present simple here. Using the present continuous conveys a feeling of annoyance. She always leaves her dirty dishes in the sink - habit. She is always leaving her dirty dishes in the sink - expresses annoyance. Optilang Tenses, Present Continuous, Present Tenses, Present Simple
