Simple Present vs Present continuous

Description

Students learn the difference between present simple and present continuous and use them in sentences and speaking. This is executed through learning about types of clothes they ear, what do they do on a daily basis, what are they doing now. What do they usually wear in the office or at home. Students talk and write about daily routines and use adverbs of fequency too.
