Present Simple or Progressive?

[Tdol]

Why? ;-)

 

[Firelord]

film's good=one's good
if so, it will use "am thinking"
film's good=something is good
if so, it will use "think"

 

[MikeNewYork]

film's good=one's good
if so, it will use "am thinking"
film's good=something is good
if so, it will use "think"

The progressive verb "am thinking" denotes a thinking process. In this case "think" is correct because it is an opinion. :wink:

 

[gulrina]

its not a continious sentense thats y we cant use "am thinking" its jus a simple present tense so "i think" is more likely

Hi
yes, simple present
We can use this rule:
simple past: I + mind verb
present continuos: I am + (mind verb+ING)

Good luck :B-fly:

Hi every one
the answer is : think , beacuse when you say i think a move is good
here you didn't said the time but when you say i'm thinking that mean
that don't see the move yet.



thanx;-)

Hi!
I voted for "I think the film's good". But I believe it is possible to use both case due "I think" is a present simple and "I am thinking" a present progressive. So "I think" it can be undestanding as an opinion, and "I am thinking" is an extended action.

 

[miss_bammbamm]

it should be mentioned that ''I am thinking'' in this case(to have an opinion) isn't very natural other than in some colloq cases as it serves as a stative verb which can't be used in continuous form.

 

[talkingbees-]

we don't use 2 progressive sentence in one ,

I am thinking film is good--------- it's wrong:-(
I think the film is good ----------correct :up:

Hi, here is 'The French',

English teachers don't think like you. With verbs like think you can't see the action, so you can't use the continuous form.

I believe that the continuous form it's better to emphasis the progression of the act.

Perhaps an American and an English teachers can settle this grammar point.

Have a nice day, 'Le Français'.

This is very old topic but then I want to write somethings.
must use 'Think' because this is a model.

 

[st_hart]

I think the film is good.
I think the sencence is right

 

[purplesheep]

i'm a new menber~
join for learning english~
i think the film's good...

 

[Amal-30]

The right sentence is:

"I think the film is good"

because the verb think is a non-action verb.

Hello, here my opinion

I think something is good (now, it' my opinion about a fact)
I'm thinking I like a big icecream (I hesitate to do something in the near future)
I'm thinking it's no good idea (currentrly the accion no happened, it could happen in the future)

is it OK?

than you
