Le français n'a qu'un présent — je nage —, l'anglais en a deux :

	Present simple	Present continuous
Pour…	habitudes, faits, goûts	ce qui se passe maintenant ; situations temporaires
Forme	I swim / she swims	I'm / she's / they're swimming
Question	Do you swim? Does she swim?	Are you swimming?
Négation	I don't swim / she doesn't swim	I'm not swimming
Indices	every day, usually, always, never, on Mondays	now, right now, at the moment, today, this week

Les verbes d'état (like, love, want, know, need) restent au present simple même quand tu parles de maintenant : I want an ice cream, pas ~~I'm wanting~~.
