Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Present simple vs present continuous lesson: Use the present simple for routines, facts and permanent situations: 'I work in Dhaka.' Use the present continuous for actions happening right now or temporary situations: 'I'm working from home this week.' Stative verbs (know, want, believe) resist the continuous even when the meaning feels immediate, and time words like 'always' or 'right now' usually signal which tense is needed.
