ИТАК

1. Время Present Simple в основном описывает факты и привычные действия. Время Present Continuous выражает действия, которые все еще продолжаются в момент речи.

2. Многие глаголы, описывающие скорее состояния, а не разовые события, используются только в аспекте Simple. Многие глаголы, описывающие чувственные или ментальные состояния (smell, understand) также употребляются в Present Simple.

3. Некоторые глаголы имеют значения как состояния, так и разового события, но эти значения различны.

4. Описывая картину или фотографию, мы обычно описываем сцену, как будто она происходит сейчас, и используем Present Progressive.

5. Формы настоящего времени используются также для описания событий будущего времени.

6. В ситуациях, где в большинстве других языков используется прошлое время, в английском употребляется Present Perfect.
