  Object pronouns. Personal object pronouns are words used to replace a noun in order to avoid repetition. The main difference between personal pronouns and personal object pronouns is that while the first ones replace a subject, the second ones don't. How are personal object pronouns used? The object pronoun receives the action and always follows the verb. subject pronoun+ verb+ object pronoun Always keep in mind what or who we are referring to in order to use the correct object pronoun.

Present simple vs Present continuous. Sometimes we can get confused with the present simple and continuous because the differences between them are very subtle. However, their main difference is in their use.  While we use the present simple to talk about actions in the present tense and habitual or permanent situations, the present continuous is used to indicate actions that happen while we are talking, actions in progress or in the near future. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS Simple Present: It's a form of the verb that shows that the action occurs in the present. We have to use in this tense a verb in "infinitive" or in its "base form".         Ex. Gabriela is good at singing.
