Read these sentences to understand which verbs can be expressed in the simple
present tense and not in the present continuous tense.

We do not use the present continuous tense to express activities of the mind or
of the senses which express feelings or emotions.
Verbs such as admire, believe, feel, smell, taste, like, dislike, like, hear, know,
imagine, recall, etc. are not generally used in the present continuous tense.
+ We do not use the present continuous tense for verbs which denote a condition
or state which is regarded as permanent at the time of speaking.
We do not say—
® He is appearing handsome. (x)
® Shweta is resembling her mother. (x)
® The box is containing many valuable articles. (x)
These sentences when expressed in the simple present tense will read as—
© He appears handsome.
© Shweta resembles her mother.
© The box contains many valuable articles.
