You are doing nothing but complaining about your life

[Elenichka]

Is this sentence correct in a context where some person is irritated about the other's attitude?

You are doing nothing but complaining about your life.

It's possible. You could also use the present simple in that.

You do nothing but complain about your life.


In future, please do not use a small font for your posts.

It's more natural to say 'You do nothing but complain (about the weather/your life/family/job/boss/health etc).

You do nothing but complain about your life.

Just to be clear, Elenichka, teechar is not saying they are both used in the same way.

I assume you mean to use the present simple, not the present continuous.

How frequently is the person annoyed?
