Present simple is mainly used to describe habits, e.g. I drink coffee every morning - it's common to add expressions like 'every day', 'on mondays', etc.

Present continuous on the other is used as a present tense to describe actions taking place at the moment of speaking and need some time to be finished (they are continuous) e.g. I am doing my homework [I started some time ago and I will finish it after some time]

Here you go...

We use the present simple tense when we want to talk about fixed habits or routines – things that don't change. We use the present continuous to talk about actions which are happening at the present moment, but will soon finish.

(present simple) I play tennis.

(present continuous/ progressive) I am playing tennis.

(present simple) ‘I play tennis’ tells us that playing tennis is something the speaker always does. It is part of a routine or habit. We can call this a permanent situation.

(present continuous/ progressive) ‘I am playing tennis’ tells us that the speaker is playing tennis right now. Soon the game will be over. We call this a temporary situation.

I think this will help you. If you think it helps you then vote me as the brainliest.
