Difference between !
Hi !
1. When to use " I'm missing you " and "I miss you " I can't clearly understand..
2. Friend quit good company three days ago , then my reply is "why would do that?" and "why did you do that ?". Which one is more better ? I think both meaning are the same but I can't know different nuance.
3. X : oh, pancake smell is so good . Do you have any recipe?
Y : No , I just throw them in the oven.
Why 'Y 'use" throw" ?? Not "threw" ?? Did I listen to this wrong ?
Thank you

1. There is not a big difference, but "I'm missing you" has a bit more vividity of suggestion of emotion felt at that moment, and tends to be used more about recent or short-term losses. For example, you might say "I'm missing you" on the phone to your girlfriend the day after she's gone away for a trip, rather than when trying to contact her two years after she left you.
