There is no simple continuous tense past or present.
Present simple tense has only one verb. eg I talk to the dog.
Present continuous tense has be verb + present participle eg I am talking to the dog.
Here is a paragraph using present simple:
My name is Joe. I come from Ekatahuna. I am married. We liveon a farm and have lots of cows and sheep. My wife works at the local high school but I spend all my day on the farm. I enjoy farm work. - verbs in bold.
We don't usually write using one tense but here is a paragraph in present continuous:
My family are all staying at the beach house. My brother Bob is taking his sons fishing. My wife and Bob's wife are sitting on the deck having a cup of tea. I am reading the news paper. The sun is shining.
