Hi Teachers,
Could you tell me if they are appropriate definitions? Could they be better or easier?
I don't know if in the definition below the bold word 'present' is appropriate.
Using the Simple Present in Narrative
a) The simple present is used to narrate present events that happen one after another. In other words, we use the simple present to narrate the principal events of the story.
Could this one be better?
b) The simple present is used to narrate habits, facts, preferences, and schedules in chronological order. In other words, we use the simple present to narrate the principal events of the story.
Using the Present Progressive in Narrative
The present progressive is used to narrate a situation that is in progress now.
Thanks in advance
