Laísmo: *La di un beso a María
El laísmo es una incorrección gramatical que se produce cuando usamos la, las en lugar de le, les. Al complemento indirecto femenino le corresponden los pronombres le, les, igual que al masculino:
Le di un beso a María
Le di un beso a Juan
La distinción del masculino y el femenino se produce cuando el complemento es directo:
La busqué por todas partes
Lo busqué por todas partes

Presente simple vs. Presente continuo
Uno de los usos del Presente continuo (be + v. -ing) es para expresar acciones que ocurren en el momento de hablar:
-Sheila is having a shower, she can't answer the phone now.
Y el uso más común del Presente simple es para expresar acciones habituales:
-I go to the beach every summer.
Observa la diferencia:
-What are you doing?
-I'm reading the newspaper
-What do you do?
-I'm a student / a doctor...
-Sheila is having a shower, she can't answer the phone now.

Summer sent a runner through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today,
Summer sent a runner for the feeling that I lost today.
You must be somewhere in London,
You must be loving your life in the rain,
You must be somewhere in London,
Walking Abbey Lane.
I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make,
I don't even think to make corrections.
Famous angels never come through England.
England gets the ones you never need.
I'm in a Los Angeles cathedral,
Minor singing airheads sing for me.
Put an ocean and a river between everybody else.
Between everything, yourself and home.
Put an ocean and a river between everything, yourself and home.
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners.
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners.
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain.
