Grammar
Simple present vs present continuous
We use the present simple to talk about routines and habits: things we do every day, week, month, and so on:
I play tennis on Thursday.
Matthew reads books at night.
We use the present continuous to talk about what is happening now:
She is playing hockey until Sunday.
The customers are doing paperwork.
We also use the present simple to talk about things which are always true:
Water boils at 100 C.
That church is 350 years old.
Karen lives in California.
We use the present continuous to talk about temporary or changing situations:
My daughter is studying in London for two years.
I‘m getting better at speaking English.
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:
