Объяснение:

• Present Simple - настоящее время, которое используется, чтобы говорить о рутине, привычках, состояниях, общих умениях. Это действия, которые не привязаны к моменту речи.
• Present Continuous - настоящее время, которое показывает, что действие происходит сейчас, в настоящий момент. Часто используется для описания.

Есть пара нюансов:

Есть группа глаголов, которые называются stative verbs (глаголы состояния). Эти глаголы не ставятся в форму Continuous.

Вот эти глаголы (список неполный):

• want
• see
• belong
• think
• know
• wonder
• suppose
• have
• hate
• like prefer

Еще надо учитывать, что некоторые глаголы могут быть и stative, и dynamic (противоположность stative, их можно ставить в форму Continuous) в разных значениях.

Например, это глагол to have:

• в значении "иметь", "обладать" - stative verb
• как часть фразы (to have breakfast - завтракать, to have a shower - принимать душ и т.д.) - dynamic verb

Также это, например, глагол to think:

• если это выражение своего мнения (я думаю, что...) - stative verb
• если это мыслительный процесс (он об этом думал) - dynamic verb

Present Simple еще употребляется в Zero Conditional и First Conditional:

Zero Conditional:

• If/when + Present Simple, Present Simple
• употребляется для общих привычек, а также для ситуаций, которые верны всегда (физические законы и т.д.)

First Conditional:

• If/when + Present Simple, Future Simple
• (вместо if или when может еще стоять unless, as long as, as soon as, in case)
• (во второй части вместо Future Simple может стоять модальный глагол: can/could; will/would; may/might; shall/should)
• употребляется, когда нужно показать результат чего-то, если условие выполнится; используется для реальных ситуаций в настоящем времени (вполне вероятно, что они произойдут)

Present Continuous может употребляться для точных планов и договоренностей в будущем (практически 100% уверенность).

• Например: He is flying to Paris next week. Это значит, что билеты куплены, и он полетит в Париж с вероятностью почти 100%.
