The document provides examples and exercises to illustrate the difference between using the present continuous and present simple tenses in English grammar. It shows how the present continuous is used to describe temporary or ongoing actions happening now (e.g. "She is studying") while the present simple is used for permanent or repeated actions (e.g. "He usually does his homework"). A series of exercises then tests the reader's ability to choose between the present continuous and present simple forms based on whether the action is ongoing or habitual.
