"Jím chléb a maso."

[StevenReynaert]

Why is it "I am eating" instead of "I eat"?

I eat is accepted.

It may be the Duolingo grading bug. Please always tell us your complete sentence, not just two words. And use the "My answer should be accepted"report too in these cases, that is the primary way to report missing translations.
