Grammar . Complete with the Simple present Or Present continuous ?

First, you should recognize that "Rockstar's Angel" has given you wrong answers. You were to use only two tenses -- the simple present and the present progressive (present continuous -- the two names mean the same thing). She has given answers in the past tense, so some of them must be wrong. Simple present, like "I work in a factory," is used to mean "general truth." Adverbs like "always," "sometimes," "every summer," "Sunday mornings" and the like show when it is needed. Present progressive, like "I am working in a factory," is used for something happening at the moment. Words like "right now," "this cl period," and the like tell when this tense should be used. Try doing the exercise yourself and using the rules. It will work out better than relying on people who actually do not know the answers.
