Grammar #2: Using the Present Progressive to Complain (due Friday, 5/22)

Today in class we practiced complaining using the present progressive with always, constantly, and forever.

For this post, write a complaint about your husband/wife/brother/sister/roommate/teacher/neighbor/other. Using the progressive will make it clear that you're annoyed with the situation.

 Example: My students are forever playing on their cell phones. It totally drives me crazy!

    My nephew is always yelling and overacting at his mom when he doesn't get what he wants. I feel really upset cause of how disrespectful he is.

    My friend, who is also my roommate is always driving slowly. It really drives me crazy because I am the driver who is always driving fast.
    I found the mistake so I changed it.
