• When do we use the present simple?

• We use the present simple when we are talking about facts, habits, or routines. For example:

1. Fact: Water freezes at zero degrees.
2. Habit: He drinks tea at breakfast.
3. Routine: He catches the bus every morning.

• When you have she/he/it in the sentence, you get verb (werkwoord) + s. (work becomes works)

• When it is I/you/they, it is just the verb. (just work)

• Only with he/she/it, the verb (werkwoord) changes. You have to add an S. (Works, sleeps, runs)

• When do we use the present continuous?

• We use the present continuous when something is happening now. You can look for words like:
  

1. At the moment
   
2. Now
   
3. Right now
   

• For example:
  
• I am looking at my laptop right now.
  
• She is working at the moment.

• How do we use the present continuous?
  

• With the present continuous we use to be + werkwoord + ing.

What is the difference between the 2 sentences?​
