Después de lo discutido sobre el blog en clase, aquellos que lo deseen pueden escribir sus reflexiones en español, utilizando ejemplos en el idioma inglés, por supuesto... Saludos cordiales,
ResponderEliminarAfter having discussed about the blog in class, you can write your reflections in Spanish (if you wish), providing examples in the English language, of course....Warm regards,
Buenas noches, segun lo abservado y aprendido del video publicado por el profesor y de acuerdo a la pregunta propuesta, nuestra apreciacion es la siguiente:
ResponderEliminarEl presente simple es usado casi en la mayoría del tiempo en nuestra vida, no solo en el trabajo sino en nuestro desenvolvimiento diario, ya que el mismo lo usamos para hablar o hacer referencia a cosas que nos suceden habitualmente. En nuestro trabajo, en nuestros hogares, con amigos etc.
Como por ejemplo:
1. We work in google
2. We know about web sites
3. We make android app
Bien. Tienen razón ustedes, aunque también tiene otros usos aparte de la aplicación para hábitos y rutinas. Nos vemos,
EliminarJesús,
ResponderEliminarAs it was stated in the video:
We use this tense to talk about things in general, to say that
something happens all the time or repeatedly, or that something is
true in general. This tense can also be used to say how often we do
things and to promise, apologies, suggest, agree, recommend and so on.
So, we can easily imagine few examples:
1.- Does Glen improve our computer network?
2.- Ever programs a computer.
3.- Jose doesn’t suggest the use of Internet Explorer to his clients.
Best regards,
José Galifi

ResponderEliminarPresent simple can be used at work, within the Information Technologies area it's even more quite often used. this is mainly because the fact that us, as possible IT Technicians or IT managers, will be faced with the day to day activities that the clients from our company are doing, so normally we need to make different reports to store what was the user doing at the moment that his problem ocurred. Hence, the following examples:
ResponderEliminar1 - Sofia is a designer, she does not use Ubuntu.
2 - The users from the Administration Department log in every day at 9 o'clock.
3 - She always forgets to turn off her PC when she leaves the office.

Yes, these are good examples. However, when "we need to make different reports to store what was the user doing at the moment that his problem occured", we do not use present simple... Thank you for your paticipation.
EliminarThe present simple we use every day in our computer area to express what we often do.
ResponderEliminarFor example, Jesus works in the technical support department.
Mario supports the area of networking and telecommunications.
Jonathan develops applications for systems management.
(El presente simple lo usamos dia a dia en nuestra área de informática para expresar lo que frecuentemente hacemos.
Por ejemplo, Jesus trabaja en el departamento de soporte técnico.
Mario apoya al área de redes y telecomunicaciones.
Jonathan desarrolla las aplicaciones para la gerencia de sistemas.)

Eliminarbuen dia, este "presente simple" se utiliza de manera cotidiana, para expresar lo que ocurre al momento, unos ejemplos
ResponderEliminar1-they, work with the website of the company
2- I, Work in the laboratory system and help keep operating the website
3-jesus helps repair computers and printers in the office
Buenos días, los ejemplos que presentas tienen que ver con el presente simple y la referencia de "lo cotidiano" a lo que te refieres, pero en realidad, este tiempo no se utiliza para "expresar lo que ocurre al momento". Saludos,

EliminarWe use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

Thank you for your answer. Then, you can also say that Present Simple is used for things that are true in general, according to the third sentence you have written (the Earth goes around the Sun). In addition, you could think of examples in the area of Information Technology.
