Angolban egyszerű vagy folyamatos jelen kell ilyenkor? I'm always looking for vagy I always look for?
Other possible uses of the present continuous
With always:
He is always losing his keys. This form is used, chiefly in the affirmative:
1 For a frequently repeated action, usually when the frequency annoys the speaker or seems unreasonable to him: Tom is always going away for weekends (present continuous) would imply that he goes away very often, probably too often in the speaker's opinion. But it does not necessarily mean that he goes away every weekend. It is not a literal statement. Compare with always + simple present: Tom always goes away at weekends = Tom goes away every weekend.(a literal statement) I/we + always + continuous tense is also possible here. The repeated action is then often accidental:
I'm always making that mistake.
2 For an action which appears to be continuous:
He's always working = He works the whole time. This sort of action quite often annoys the speaker but doesn't necessarily do so: He's always reading could imply that he spends too much time reading, but could also be said in a tone of approval. The first person could be used here too. The action then, like the other actions here in 2, is usually deliberate.
Always után általában egyszerű jelen áll. Létige nem feltétlenül kell (lásd a harmadik példát).
I always get up at 7.30.
Tom always has a shower in the morning.
I'm always happy at the weekend.
