Present Simple vs Present Continuous — краткое напоминание

• Present Simple: устойчивые факты, привычки, расписания, чувства, глаголы восприятия и состояния (know, like, see и т. п.).

• Present Continuous: действия, происходящие прямо сейчас или в период вокруг настоящего момента; временные ситуации; планы на ближайшее будущее; раздражающие повторения с always.
