Grammar
When + Present Simple + Present Continuous
Hello,
I'd like to ask you if it's correct tp say a sentence like this one:
When you hear voices, you are suffering from schizophrenia.
Should I use Present Simple in each clause or maybe the use of Present Continuous in the second one is also acceptable?
Thank You
