Common English mistakes 03: present simple vs present continuous 

In this episode, we take our story into the past tense! Building on "идти" and "ехать", I’ll explain how these verbs change in the past and introduce other important verbs to expand your understanding.

We’ll also dive into one of the trickiest parts of Russian grammar—perfective vs. imperfective verbs in the past tense. With clear explanations and useful clues, you'll learn how to recognize and use them correctly in different situations.

毎日飲むお茶

私が日常的に飲んでいるのは、紅茶でもコーヒーでもなく、ほうじ茶だ。ほうじ茶とは緑茶の茶葉（ちゃば）を焙（ほう）じて淹（い）れるお茶である。こだわりはなく、スーパーで買うお徳用（とくよう）のパックで十分満足できる。麦茶（むぎちゃ）やウーロン茶も美味しいと思うけど、ほうじ茶の独特の香（こう）ばしさと味わいが一番好き。

एकपटक चतुरे कामको खोजीमा हिँड्यो। ऊ घुम्दै फिर्दै राजदरबारमा पुग्यो। संयोगबस उसले दरबारमा काम पायो। सजिलैसँग काम पायो, त्यो त राम्रै भयो; तर काम थियो तबेलाको। चतुरेले तबेलाकै भएपनि काम गर्न मन्जुर गर्यो किनभने उसले कहिल्यै राजालाई देखेको थिएन । उसको राजालाई देख्ने धोको थियो । 
चतुरेको सोचाइ थियो दरबारमा काम गरे राजालाई सजिलै देख्न पाइन्छ। तर संयोग मिलेन, महिनौ काम गर्दा पनि उसले राजालाई देख्न पाएन ।...............................................................

JAMES:  Good morning, Professor Austin, how are you doing?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Good morning, James. I am doing well. And you?
JAMES: I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She 
is thinking about applying to this college. She has a 
few questions. Would you mind telling us about the 
process, please?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more 
than happy to speak with you. Please stop by my office 
next week.
EMMA: It’s a pleasure to meet you, professor. Thank you so 
much for helping us.

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.
