Present simple or continuous?

Ouch, I felt stupid before but now I feel absolutely down. Feel like I should have a look for a different  job...Cry

But as Zora is from Canada and I guess a native speaker (or is your 1st language French?), I will correct it and put present continuous instead.

Thank you all. Michaela

Cheer up, Michaela! And remember, it is NOT your native language! How should you know everything?

Yes, I am a native speaker, from Western Canada actually, one of the English speaking parts of the country.

And don �t be sad. We all have days, where we don �t feel up to par. I live in Spain, and I do speak Spanish fluently but I do make mistakes still, and big ones sometimes... lol .. Nobody is perfect. Smile

Hi Michaela
 
Actually, you will find many native speakers who would say that even though pres. cont. is the grammatically correct form.  So don �t worry, English is an ever-changing language where the rules are becoming more and more flexible.
 
I use this page as a guide for my students:
