This tense indicates actions that are in progress, ongoing, or temporary, happening around the time of speaking.
Form: is/am/are + V+ing
For example: "She is reading a book right now."
This sentence indicates that the action of reading is happening at the moment of speaking, emphasizing its temporary nature.
Signal words: "now", "at the moment", "right now", "currently" etc.
In summary, the Present Simple is used for habitual actions, general truths, or facts that are true in the present, while the Present Continuous is used for actions happening at the moment of speaking or actions occurring around the present time.
