	Philip  +  563965 Tue, 09 Sep 08 03:02 AM Doll's suggestion of 'nowadays' (or these days, or recently) is very good. I would use the present continuous, to emphasize that it is an on-going situation. Philip Joined on Thu, Jun 23 2005 Veteran Member 8,738 At reise er at leve! - H. C. Andersen Present Continuous

	CalifJim  +  564012 Tue, 09 Sep 08 05:02 AM  The present continuous seems better to me.  Nevertheless, I would have said, "She has been losing her temper a lot lately" (present perfect continuous).

	Annvan  +  564045 Tue, 09 Sep 08 07:23 AM You could also say: "She is always losing her temper nowadays." This also implies the message that the speaker thinks that this happens too often. Annvan Joined on Mon, Sep 4 2006 The Philippines Regular Member 618 Present Continuous
