英文有兩種常用的動詞時態：現在簡單式描述習慣或規律，例如「我每天七點起床」；現在進行式描述現在正在發生的事，例如「我現在正在走路」。兩者的差別在於一個說「平時怎麼做」，另一個說「現在在做什麼」。本篇以 Kevin 的上學早晨為情境，讓你透過故事自然感受這兩種時態的使用時機。

• Kevin 每天和好友 Mia 一起走路上學
• 今天 Mia 生病，Kevin 獨自一人走去學校
• 媽媽正在幫他準備特別的午餐
• 今天雖然奇怪，Kevin 仍然微笑著向前走

English

Kevin always walks to school with his best friend, Mia. Every morning, he gets up at seven o'clock, eats breakfast with his family, and listens to music on the way. He usually arrives at school before eight and talks with his classmates before class.

But today is different. Mia is sick and stays at home. Kevin is walking to school alone now, and he feels a little lonely without her. His mom is also making him a special lunch right now because Kevin has a big English test this afternoon.

Kevin knows today is not the same as usual. It feels a little strange, but he smiles and walks faster. He thinks, "Mia will be back tomorrow, and everything will be normal again."

Kevin 每天都和他最好的朋友 Mia 一起走路上學。每天早上，他七點起床，和家人一起吃早餐，然後一路聽著音樂。他通常在八點前到達學校，並在上課前和同學聊天。

但今天不一樣。Mia 生病，待在家裡。Kevin 現在正在獨自走路上學，沒有她在旁邊，他覺得有點寂寞。他的媽媽也正在幫他準備一份特別的午餐，因為 Kevin 今天下午有一場重要的英文考試。

Kevin 知道今天和平時不一樣。這感覺有點奇怪，但他微笑著，走得更快了。他心想：「Mia 明天就會回來，一切都會恢復正常的。」

always / usually + 動詞原形 S + always/usually/every day + 動詞原形（第三人稱單數加 -s） 現在簡單式用來描述「習慣性或規律發生的動作」，常搭配 always（總是）、usually（通常）、every morning（每天早上）等頻率副詞。主詞為第三人稱單數（he／she／it）時，動詞字尾需加 -s 或 -es。

S + be + V-ing S + am/is/are + 動詞-ing 現在進行式用來描述「現在正在進行的動作」，常搭配 now（現在）、right now（就在此刻）等時間副詞。be 動詞依主詞變化：I → am、he/she/it → is、you/we/they → are，動詞字尾加 -ing。
