Continuous

We use the Present Simple to talk about things that are factual, permanent, or routine.

For example:

London lies on the Thames. (factual)

I live in Italy. (permanent)

I go to work by car. (routine)

When we talk about our routines, we can also add an adverb of frequency to say how often we do these things:

I always go to work by car.

I never take the bus to work.

But we use the Present Continuous to talk about things that are happening now, or around now. (“Around now” can mean this hour, this week, this month, this year…) We think that these events are temporary, rather than permanent.

We tend to use the Present Continuous to talk about changes and trends.

This week I’m taking the bus to work because my car is in the garage. (A temporary change.)

The price of petrol is going up. (A trend)

2  июня 1953 года в Лондоне церемония коронации Елизаветы II, и это событие стало одним из самых зрелищных в истории Британии XX века. В тот день множество доброжелателей собралось в Лондоне, чтобы своими глазами увидеть праздничную процессию и поприветствовать юную Елизавету, а миллионы британцев замерли у телевизоров и радиоприемников, стараять не упустить ни единой детали трансляции. Коронация Елизаветы II стала настоящим праздником для всей страны, первым грандиозным событием после тяжелых послевоенных лет.
Коронация состоялась почти через полтора года после того, как Елизавета была провозглашена королевой. Когда ее отец, Георг VI, скончался 6 февраля 1952 года, Елизавета вместе с мужем, герцогом Эдинбургским, находилась с официальным визитом в Кении. Так случилось, что печальную новость из Лондона сначала узнал герцог Эдинбургский. Он пригласил супругу на прогулку, во время которой и сообщил Елизавете, что она стала королевой.

June 2, 1953 in London was held the ceremony of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and this event has become one of the most spectacular in the history of Britain of the twentieth century. That day a lot of well-wishers gathered in London to witness a festive procession to welcome the young Elizabeth, and millions of Britons stood at the televisions and radios, to starat not to miss a single part of the broadcast. The coronation of Elizabeth II became a real holiday for the whole country, the first major event after the difficult post-war years.
The coronation took place a year and a half after Elizabeth was proclaimed Queen. When her father, George VI, died on 6 February 1952, Elizabeth along with her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, paid an official visit to Kenya. It so happened that the sad news from London first recognised the Duke of Edinburgh. He invited the wife for a walk, during which he reported to Elizabeth, she became Queen.
