Simple Present
The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present when something or an action is happening, or when the action happens. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly like a routine or diary actions.

morning.

water.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS
Use the present continuous
with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening
now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not
happening now.
It's used:
-To describe an action that
is going on at this moment.
-To describe an action that
is going on during this period of time.
-To describe an action or
event in the future, which has already been planned or prepared.
-To describe a temporary
event or situation.
The Present Continuous Formula:
To be [am, is, are] + verb
[present participle]
