Hi

What is the difference between the phrase " I walk to school , and I am walking to school
  

Top answer

The difference is in tenses: the 1st sentence is in Present Simple (action is regulary repeated) and the 2nd is in Present Continuous (the action is happening now, at the moment of speech )

HI,

You can consider it as the following:

From monday to friday you walk to school.

If you are walking to school, you do it at the moment

This tense is called: present progressive: You use it when you want to describe what is happening at the moment of speaking and is not yet over

It's also used for activities going on ov
