We are having a look at the differences in form and use of the present simple and present continuous, we have said that we use the present simple for habits (with frequency expressions and adverbs) and we use the present continuous to speak about the  time of speaking (after imperatives, with "now, right now, at the moment" and "today")

In the next chart you can see the form:

PRESENT SIMPLE	PRESENT CONTINOUS
Aff.  Subject (you, we, you,they) +verb (V)                                                (he, she, it)  +Vs, es, ies	Aff. Subject (I) + (verb “to be”) am + Ving.                         (he, she, it)  + is +Ving.                         (we, you, they)+ are +Ving.
Neg.          Subject (you, we,they) +don’t+ verb                                                                                                                      (he, she, it)  +doesn’t +verb	Neg: Subject (I) + am + not + Ving.                         (he, she, it)  + isn’t +Ving.                         (we, you, they)+ aren’t +Ving
Int. Do + Subject (you, we, you,they)+verb…?        Does + Subject (he, she, it)+ verb…?	Int: Am + I +Ving…?        Is + he, she, it + Ving…?        Are + we, you, they + Ving…?
Auxiliary  only in negative and interrogative: DO	Auxiliary in aff., neg. and int.: BE
