Present simple Vs Present Continuous

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS SIMPLE AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS

The main differences are:

    1.  The present sounds more continuous time while the present simple sounds more permanent.

  2.    Structural differences: the present continuum is the verb "to be" as auxiliary and the "present participle" (a    main verb + "-ing" => studying, for example: "I am studying." "I'm studying.")

Present simple	Present continuous
The present simple is used to indicate actions or actions that are common but not necessarily occurring at the time spoken. For example: -          I go shopping with my friends - I go shopping with my friends (this means I'm going with them regularly or occasionally, not necessarily now)	This is a continuous tense indicates an action that is happening at the moment it is spoken. It is quite similar to, for example, 'eating', 'walking', 'saying', etc.. In colloquial English also means something that will happen very soon. Now let's see some examples: -          I am studying for my exam
