Hi, I have a question about using this verb in the context of time.
Which tense is more appropriate in the sentence below?
The clock hanging on the wall shows/is showing twenty eight minutes past five.
I mean it is twenty eight minutes past five on the clock right now. The clock has not stopped at this time, it is still working.
Is it alright to use present simple?
