Present simple vs Present continuous. Sometimes we can get confused with the present simple and continuous because the differences between them are very subtle. However, their main difference is in their use.  While we use the present simple to talk about actions in the present tense and habitual or permanent situations, the present continuous is used to indicate actions that happen while we are talking, actions in progress or in the near future. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRESENT SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS Simple Present: It's a form of the verb that shows that the action occurs in the present.
