Explanation: Use Present Simple for habits, stative verbs such as understand and believe, and timetables. Use Present Continuous for actions happening now or temporarily. (Present Simple используется для привычных действий, глаголов состояния, например understand и believe, и расписаний. Present Continuous используется для действий, происходящих сейчас или временно.)
