• We use the Present Simple to talk about things that happen every day/week/month, etc.
• We use the Present Continuous to talk about things happening now.
• We use am, are and is in Present Continuous questions (see 9.2).
• We use do and does in Present Simple questions (see 3.2 and 4.3).
• We usually use these words with the Present Simple: usually, sometimes, always, often, normally, hardly ever, never, every day/week/month, etc.
I normally go to work by train.
I visit my grandparents every month.
• We usually use these words with the Present Continuous: now, today, at the moment.

What are you doing at the moment?
