Present Simple and Present Continuous

 The present simple is used to talk about things that we do all
the time (facts, routines, habits).
 The present continuous is used to talk about events that are
happening at the moment of speaking.

The present simple: I play tennis.
The present continuous: I am playing tennis.

Present simple: ‘I play tennis.’ tells us that playing tennis is
something the speaker always does. It is part of a routine or habit.
We can call this a permanent situation.

Present continuous: ‘I am playing tennis’ tells us that the speaker is
playing tennis right now. Soon the game will be over. We call this a
temporary situation.

Present continuous: am/are/is + -ing form

With the present simple we say:

I play tennis
You play tennis
We play tennis
They play tennis
He/she/ it plays tennis.

With the present continuous we say:

I am playing tennis
You are playing tennis
We are playing tennis
They are playing tennis
He/she/it is playing tennis
