Can we use the time-expressions 'these days' or 'nowadays' in present simple as well, please
Hello teachers,
- What are you doing these days/nowadays?
- What do you do these days/nowadays?
Can we use 'these days' or 'nowadays' in present simple tense, please? I know that 'these days' or 'nowadays' are quite common in 'present continuous' tense, but I was wondering If we could use these time-expressions with the 'present simple' as well.
Thank you.
