a)We use the present simple tense when we want to talk about fixed habits or routines – things that don’t change.

b)We use the present continuous to talk about actions which are happening at the present moment, but will soon finish.

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.
