Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Same with Je visite Paris= I am visiting Paris (The word am comes in instead of saying suis I think)

We don't have progressive present in French, we simply use simple present instead.
So, Paul visite le Japon can be both Paul visits Japan and Paul is visiting Japan.

In essence, English has something called the progressive/continuous aspect which are used to describe something that is currently happening. For example, English distinguishes 'I eat meat' and 'I am eating meat'. The difference is that the first one, the simple present tense, just describes a simple fact – you do eat meat (means that you aren't a vegetarian/vegan, for example); the second one, the present progressive tense, means that at this moment/at the moment of speaking, you are in the process of eating meat.
