Review Summary

  • Simple = Routine; Continuous = Temporary
  • Yet (end of negative/question), Already (mid-sentence), Still (ongoing)

常见错误

State verbs like 'know' or 'taste' rarely take the continuous form.

Wrong: I am knowing the answer.
正确: I know the answer.

'Yet' is for negative or interrogative sentences. Use 'already' for positive completions.

Wrong: I have finished yet.
正确: I have already finished.

The auxiliary 'do' is for questions or negatives, not positive statements.

Wrong: She do work here.
正确: She works here.

The auxiliary 'do' is required to form questions in the Present Simple.
English uses tenses to be very specific about time and duration, which helps avoid ambiguity.
No, 'know' is a stative verb. Use 'I know'.
No, sensory verbs are linking verbs and require adjectives.
Use 'like' when you follow the verb with a noun.
