Do you vs Are you
Dear all,
Kindly tell me the difference in the meaning between the following sentences. I feel that the first one is more apt in this context because of the presence of "every week". I'd like to get your opinion on this.
Do you get pocket money every week?
Are you getting pocket money every week?
Top answer
Certainly the first sounds more natural. The presence of 'every week' seems to negate the use of the word 'getting', which suggests the present.
