Grammar Explanations

• Present Continuous (is/am/are + verb-ing): Used for actions happening at the exact moment of speaking (e.g., smiling, trying).
• Present Simple (do/does or am/is/are): Used for permanent states, professions, and "stative" verbs like want or be which are rarely used in the continuous form.
• Occupations: When asking about someone's job, we use the Present Simple: "What do you do?"
