 Used to describe: 

  • Actions that are happening now: Paul is sending Sandra a WhatsApp. 
  • Actions prolonged in the present: I'm winning this game of tennis. 
  • Monotonous and repetitive actions: We are always buying a new clothes. Something you doing in your life. 
  • Concrete plans in the future: We are coming home on Monday. 

Verb forms:

  • I am living / She is living / they are living
  • I am not living / He is not living / You are not living
  • Am i living?/Is it living/Are we living?
Contracted form: 
  • i'm, you're, she's, we're, they're
frequently time expressions:
  • now, at the moment, at present, tomorrow, this weekend...
Spelling rules: 
  • give - giving, study - studying, die - dying
  • plan (one-syllable) - planning...
I thing is easiest than present simple because it clear when you should use it. However, all the time, i'm thinking about use present simple and present continuous in same context. I can say I learning English right now it is focused on action. When i say I learn English it is about a fact of learning English.
