"I am wondering" or "I wonder"? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

You may be confusing the verb to wonder with the phrase to wonder at.

Generally, when English speakers use to wonder, they mean this definition:

to feel curiosity or doubt

When they use to wonder at, they mean this definition:

to be in a state of [astonishment or admiration]

Given your definition, your options are:

I am wondering at how easy the task is!

or

I wonder at how easy the task is!

"I wonder" is known as the Present Simple tense. Generally, this is used for permanent states.

"I am wondering" is known as the Present Continuous tense. Generally, this is used for changes, trends, and transient states.

Thus, I would suggest that

I am wondering at how easy this task is!

is probably your best bet.

Solution 2:

I agree with the answer in the comment. It's better to use another word instead.

I'd say:

I’m surprised this task is so easy!
