Рiзниця мiж The Present Continuous i The Present Simple
1. Present Continuous застосовується для опису ситуацій і дій, які мовець вважає тимчасовими. Present Simple описує ситуації, які мовець сприймає як постійні.

Sam works as a manager at the ice cream shop. –
2. Якщо ми описуємо повторювані дії, які пов'язані з цим моментом, використовуємо Present Continuous. А якщо з цим моментом вони не пов'язані, вживаємо Present Simple.

3. Present Continuous описує дію, що відбувається зараз. Present Simple використовується для опису фактів, які залишаються вірними в будь-який момент часу.
