Present Simple

The Present Simple tense is used to talk about general habits, routines, and facts. It is also used to talk about permanent or long-lasting situations.

In the given sentence, 'Do you listen to the radio every day?' is in the Present Simple tense. It is asking about a regular habit or routine of listening to the radio. The response 'No, just occasionally.' confirms that the person does not listen to the radio every day.

Present Continuous

The Present Continuous tense is used to talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking or around the present time. It is also used to talk about temporary situations or actions that are in progress.

In the given sentences, the verb 'flow' is in the Present Continuous tense. 'The River Nile flows into the Mediterranean' is a general fact, so it is in the Present Simple tense. However, 'Look at the river. It is flowing very fast today - much faster than usual.' describes the action of the river flowing at the present moment, so it is in the Present Continuous tense.

Similarly, in the sentence 'How is your English?' - 'Not bad. It is improving slowly.', the verb 'improve' is in the Present Continuous tense. It describes the ongoing process of improvement in the person's English skills.

In the sentence 'Ron is in London at the moment. He is staying at the Park Hotel. He always stays there when he's in London.', the verbs 'stay' and 'is staying' are in the Present Continuous tense. 'Stay' is used to describe Ron's usual habit, while 'is staying' is used to describe his current temporary situation.

Finally, in the sentence 'Normally, I finish work at 5.00, but this week I am working until 6.00 to earn a bit more money.', the verbs 'finish' and 'am working' are in the Present Continuous tense. 'Finish' describes the person's usual habit, while 'am working' describes the temporary situation of working until 6.00 this week.
