What is the difference?

"I am always doing" is not viable as a sentence.

"I always do" is possible if you are referring back to something previously mentioned.

— "Remember to lock the door!"
— "I always do."

GPY"I am always doing" is not viable as a sentence."I always do" is possible if you are referring back to something previously mentioned.— "Remember to lock the door!"— "I always do."

Hi

I don't understand your answer in "I am always doing" is not viable as a sentence.". What do you mean?

Carter LeeI don't understand your answer in "I am always doing" is not viable as a sentence.". What do you mean?

You cannot have a sentence like this:

I am always doing.

However, these words can occur together as part of a longer sentence:

I am always doing the wrong thing.

Then what about this? What if someone asking me and he is always criticising everything I do, Are you still cutting the meat? Then yes! I'm doing. Is this wrong?

Carter Lee What if someone asking me, Are you still cutting the meat? Then yes! I'm doing. Is this wrong?

Yes, it's wrong.

You can say "Yes, I'm (still) doing it". (Obviously you can also just say "Yes", and very often you would.)

Thanks GPY. I'm always appreciate you.

If you don't mind, Would you please let me know something?
Did I not ask you 'why' as to the reason of you simple answer?( The reason of simple answer is that Am i just asking it to you?)
If you let me know the reason of wrong, it will help to me.

Many Thanks.

I agree with you that it is not a viable sentence. First of all, I am not a linguistic

beyond the bookI am always doing the wrong thing. I don't see this sentence as present progressive

I see it as simply present progressive "I am doing the wrong thing" with adverb "always" inserted.

beyond the bookRather, I see "am" as a linking verb modified by 'always', as in I am always [hungry]. So the adjective or phrase in the
