Antonio: Hi Sylvia! What are you doing?
Sylvia: Hey Antonio! I’m writing a letter to my grandfather.
Aquí usamos presente continuo para hablar de lo que está haciendo Sylvia ahora mismo.
Antonio: Oh, that’s nice. Where does your grandfather live?
Sylvia: He lives in Texas. He’s retired now, so he spends most of his time playing golf.
Antonio: Do you have a big family?
Sylvia: Yes, I do. I have a lot of cousins.
Antonio: Where do they live?
Sylvia: All over the United States. American people usually move a lot. So I have cousins in New York, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Portland, Chicago, Las Vegas…
Antonio: That’s interesting. Do you like Las Vegas?
Sylvia: No, I don’t. It’s so ridiculous and artificial.
Todo eso está en presente simple, porque hablamos de hábitos y situaciones permanentes.
Antonio: Hm. And what do you think about New York?
Sylvia: New York is okay. It’s a big city, with people from all over the world.
Antonio: And do you enjoy living in Spain, Sylvia?
Enjoy + gerundio es un ejemplo de los verb patterns, un tema largo que he tratado en muchos artículos.
Sylvia: Yes, I do. I like Madrid a lot.
Antonio: Do you like Spanish food?
Sylvia: Yes, I do! I love the octopus from Galicia.
Antonio: Ah yes. I’m happy to hear that. Do you want to go have some dinner now? I know a place around the corner that makes some excellent Galician octopus!
Sylvia: Okay, but first I want to finish my letter.
