Several people asked about the simple present tense in Esperanto and how it compares to English.
- why is "estas" not used in place of the "is"?
- How do you tell the difference between "works" and "is working" if we use the same "laboras" for both verb forms?
- why do i have it wrong if i put: "la virino ESTAS laboras rapide" if estas = is ???
I've written a detailed answer to these question here:
