3. Present Simple vs Present Continuous

Обычно vs прямо сейчас

  • Present Simple — facts, habits, routines.
    I work every day. Water boils at 100°C.
    Signal words: usually, every day, often, always, never
  • Present Continuous (be + verb-ing) — happening right now, or temporary.
    I am working right now. She is living in Almaty this year.
    Signal words: now, right now, at the moment, today

Cheat: ask yourself — 'is this a rule/habit, or is it happening this second?'
