Default Re: Present Simple or Progressive?

i voted for am staying..

i think if u wanna use stay it's better this way (is wat i think)

" i'll stay with my sister until the work's finished "

ok, "until" indicates that the work ain't finish yet so the use of will is truly appropriate..

" i stayed with my sister till the work's finished "

i changed until to till and stay to stayed to show it's a past event...
