Anonymous  +  219073 Sun, 23 Apr 06 09:40 PM I   want to know if the following sentences are correct, taking into account the use of frequency adverbs (usually, sometimes,....) and the relative pronouns (when,....) Here I go with the sentences: When I SEE him, we always GO to a pub We usually MEET when we Go to work What happen  with "when" here that always evoke precise action with simple tenses? Paul and Tim go to London three times a year, but next summer they ARE STAYING/ STAYS at home. My doubt here is what happens with those verbs which  refers to an state and they doesn't have a beginning or an end? Occasionally he GOES to the cinema, but he GOES to the cinema  at least once a week. Susan HATES potatoes, because she THINKS/THINKING they ARE bad for her. Sam can't go to Mexico next summer, so he VISITS/VISITING his grandmother Anonymous Present Progressive, Verbs, Tenses, Nouns, Pronouns, Adverbs, Relative Pronouns

What happen  with "when" here that always evoke precise action with simple tenses? You are dealing with habits/schedules.   Paul and Tim go to London three times a year, but next summer they ARE STAYING at home. My doubt here is what happens with those verbs which  refers to an state and they doesn't have a beginning or an end? The contimuous stresses the duration,as well as the future plan. You could say 'they stay', but it would be much less commonly used. Or you could say 'will stay / is going to stay'. Occasionally he GOES to the cinema, but he GOES to the cinema  at least once a week. OK Susan HATES potatoes, because she THINKS they ARE bad for her. Sam can't go to Mexico next summer, so he will VISIT/ is going to visit (or is VISITING) his grandmother Best wishes, Clive Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,301 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Present Progressive, Verbs, Tenses
