It is difficulty to judge without further context, but the expected is the continuous. .http://www.englishforums.com/English/TensesInComparison/hbccn/post.htm#591616Sat, 25 Apr 2009 18:40:16 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:591616Anonymous1http://www.englishforums.com/English/TensesInComparison/hbccn/post.htm#591616http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments43-591616.xmlThank you. I think I was being verbose because I wasn&#39;t sure what tense to use in the context I was trying to show to you -- wether to use present continous or present? Today, he opens (is opening??) the door noisily, which he should be doing.http://www.englishforums.com/English/TensesInComparison/hbccn/post.htm#590298Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:40:16 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:590298Mister Micawber2http://www.englishforums.com/English/TensesInComparison/hbccn/post.htm#590298http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments43-590298.xml.

Yesterday, he opened the door quietly as he should. Today, he opens (is opening??) the door noisily, which he should be doing. Tomorrow, I think he will again open the door quietly, which he should.
