Typische Falle
Falsch Sorry, I cannot come — I cook dinner.
Richtig Sorry, I cannot come — I am cooking dinner.
Der häufigste Fehler ist nicht die Form, sondern das Weglassen: Weil das Deutsche keine Verlaufsform hat, wählen Deutschsprachige im Zweifel das Simple Present. Auf die Frage What are you doing? antwortet dann jemand I read a book — und sagt damit, dass er Bücher liest, nicht dass er gerade eines liest.
