PRESENT SIMPLE - FORM
Simple means that it is NOT a compound tense.
Simple means that it only needs an auxiliary in the negative and in the interrogative forms, NOT in the affirmative. In the negative and in the interrogative forms THE AUXILIARY IS NEEDED.
Simple means that the auxiliary to be used is the verb TO DO.
The Simple Present is in all persons the same EXCEPT IN THE 3rd PERSON SINGULAR!!

AUXILIARY VERBS
What are auxiliary verbs? Auxiliary verbs are verbs that are used to assist
the main verb (I am dancing; You have written). Auxiliary verbs can not be used without a main
verb. Auxiliary verbs can not be used with modal verbs
(I am canning swim; I have musted study). Auxiliary verbs are used to make sentences
negative (I don’t dance; You didn’t write). Auxiliary verbs are used to ask questions (Do you
dance?; What did he say?). Auxiliary verbs are used to build different tenses (I
am dancing; I have written; He has been talking).

AUXILIARY VERBS
What are auxiliary verbs? – Let’s see that again
Auxiliary verbs are verbs that are used to assist the main verb (I am dancing; You have written).
Auxiliary verbs can not be used without a main verb. Auxiliary verbs can not be used with modal verbs (I
am canning swim; I have musted study). Auxiliary verbs are used to make sentences negative
(I don’t dance; You didn’t write). Auxiliary verbs are used to ask questions (Do you
dance?; What did he say?). Auxiliary verbs are used to build different tenses (I
am dancing; I have written; He has been talking).

PRESENT CONTINUOUS - FORM
It isn’t called SIMPLE. This means that IT IS a compound tense. Therefore we will need an auxiliary and the main verb will be a verbal (non-personal verb).
Continuous means that the auxiliary needed is the verb TO BE.
Continuous means that the main verb is a gerund verbal. Gerunds are –ing forms.
Present means that the auxiliary (TO BE) is conjugated in the present tense.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS - USE
We use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening now. Examples
The kids are watching TV. We are studying the Present Continuous. I am not learning German, because this is an English class. Who are you writing to?
We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment. Examples
Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week. I am reading a really interesting book now. How hard are you rehearsing for the “mostra”? We aren't working hard these days.
