Grammar
Present simple and continuous
Hello, I would like to ask you about using present tenses in the following sentences.
Can I use both the present simple and continuous in the following sentences?
When I speak Spanish, I talk slowly to help people to understand me.
When I am speaking Spanish, I talk slowly to help people to understand me.
And how about these sentences? Be careful when you are crossing the street. Be careful when you cross the street.
Thank you very much
