Past Simple and Past Continuous - English grammar tutorial video lesson
In this example:
We know the Time is Present and the Aspect is Continuous or Progressive, which means that it is an action
that is going on now, and that it is not finished, it continues. Also, the expression “at the moment”, tells us is
it happening now (it is a Signalexpression).
The meaning is different – it is Present, it is the same person and verb (I / to read), but the verb is Simple;
this means that the action is habitual. Also, the signal word “usually”, tells us it is a frequent action.
Recognizing aspect, time, and signal words is fundamental for better understanding oral or written
messages; by practicing, we also communicate more efficiently.

“I will travel”.
We know the Time is Future, it means that it is probable that I will take a trip, or that I am deciding at this very
moment, that I want to take a trip.
“I am going to travel”.
The meaning is different – it is Future, it is the same person and verb (I / to travel), but the use of” Going to”
implies that it is certain – I may have a ticket or have made a reservation at the hotel.
