Learn English – I recommend or I’m recomending you something

present-continuouspresent-simplepresent-tense

Which is correct? When to use present simple and when present continuous. When I recommend / recommending something someone on StackExchange, which tense would be better and why?

Best Answer

Both are correct

The present shows that you recommend something, and you may do it multiple times:

I recommend this to my customers.

I recommend that you use this.

The present continuous suggests that you recommend something at the time of speaking:

I am recommending this to my customers.

I'm recommending that you use this.

Both of these show that you are actively recommending something right now instead of in general.
