Grammar
Simple present vs present continuous

We use the present continuous to talk about what is happening now:

The customers are doing paperwork.
We also use the present simple to talk about things which are always true:

We use the present continuous to talk about temporary or changing situations:

We use the present simple to talk about things in books, films, or in a timetable:

We use the present continuous to talk about people in photos or pictures:
