Tenses: Present (simple and progressive)
Hello,
If I say 'At 9 o'clock, I am driving to work, so don't call me at my office-number', it means that the action of my driving to work is in progress at 9 o'clock. It started before 9 and will finish after nine. Right, teachers?
But if I say 'At 9 o'clock, I drive to work', could it also mean that I'm on my way to work? i.e., the action of my driving to work has already begun/started and this action of my driving to work is in progress at 9 o'clock?
Thank you.
