    Present Simple
     Here are some examples of the presentsimple used to
    describe things that are always true. Language courses are
    available online orin person. Montreal is in Canada. The
    earth revolves around the sun. These statements are all
    facts,they are always true. Another use of the present
    simple is totalk about the things we do every day or very
    regularly. Our habits, for example, a lot ofpeople go jogging
    in the mornings. Italians often don't eat breakfast. Danny
    often makes videos at home. These are all examples of
    people's habits. We can also use the presentsimple to
    describe how we or other people feel, as in these examples.
    The Montreal waterfront is amazing. Ruby finds languages
    fascinating. Danny andRuby don't mind speaking to grace
    online. These are different ways of explaininghow people
    feel about something.

    Present Continuous
    What about the present continuous? When should we use it? The present
    continuous is used todescribe more temporary situations, such as the
    activities peopleare doing at the moment of speaking. You are now
    learning English online andI am now explaining grammar. What are your
    friends doing at the moment? Are they studying? Are they working?
    Maybe they are relaxing. The present continuous can also be usedto talk
    about longer temporary actions or events, such as what youare studying
    at the moment. For example, Danny is studyingcommunication science at
    university. Or to talk about a temporarysituation like Danny and Ruby,
    who are looking after themselves atthe moment because Grace is away.
    And Danny, who is followinglessons in person this week. You could also
    use the present continuousto talk about a TV series you're watching at
    the moment or a sport that youare enjoying doing in this period.
