grammar: make repetition exercise

The simple present describes general facts, habits, or routines (e.g., "She walks to school"). The present continuous shows actions happening now or temporary situations (e.g., "She is walking to school"). Key difference: simple present = regular or permanent, present continuous = happening at the moment or temporary.
