The deference between Present simple and Continuous

Grammar 

The deference between Present simple and Continuous 

Present simple and present continuous are both verb tenses, they are used to talk about actions happening in the present (currently), but also, they have different uses.

Present simple is used for:

👉- General fact or truth: 

Exp: The sun rises in the east.

👉- Habit or routine: 

Exp: I drink tea every morning.

👉- Permanent situation: 

Exp: He lives in Tokyo.

Present continuous is used for:

👉- Action happening right now (currently): 

Exp: You are studying for your exam.

👉- Temporary situation: 

Exp: She is staying with us for the weekend.

👉- Future plan or arrangement:

Exp: We are going to the theater tonight.

🔔 Present simple is more about regular, repeated actions, while present continuous is for actions happening at the moment or in the near future.
