Explicação:

O Simple Present é um tempo verbal utilizado para indicar ações habituais que ocorrem no presente.

Além disso, ele é usado para expressar verdades universais, sentimentos, desejos, opiniões e preferências.

Ex.: She likes strawberries.

They go to school in the afternoon.

O Present Continuous ou Present Progressive (em português, presente contínuo ou progressivo) é um tempo verbal usado para indicar ações que estão em progresso no presente; no momento da fala.

Ele é empregado para falar sobre situações temporárias, ações contínuas que estão acontecendo.

Ex.: Mary is reading a book now.

They are copying the exercises at this moment.
