Present Simple: We use present simple to indicate
a) Routines or habits: I wake up everyday at 7:30 a.m.
b) Likes, dislikes and feelings: I like fish and chips
c) True facts or general truths: A year has 365 days and 4 hours.

How can we differentiate
It is very easy to differentiate when we look at the meaning of the sentence. For example:
a) I play tennis twice a week.
b) I am playing tennis with Juan today.
The first sentence refers to a habit while the second one refers to an action that is taking place in the present or close future.
2. Past Simple. Regular and irregular verbs.
We use the past simple to talk about an action that happens in a time before now and it is completed or finished.
Ex. I cooked paella last thursday.( the action is in the past and it is finished.
In here, it is important to differentiate between regular and irregular verbs.

3. Past Continuous. While and when.
We use the past continuous to talk about actions that were in progress in the past. The form is similar to the Present continuous but we use the auxiliar TO BE in past simple + main verb+ ing
a) An action in progress in the past. I was doing my homework at 5:00 pm
b) Two actions in progress simultaneously. She was working on the project while he was doing nothing.
c) One action in progress interrupted by another. She was talking when the teacher entered in the room.

4. Past simple vs Past continuous.
When we want to differentiate between Past simple and Past continuous we need to get the meaning of the sentence. If the action is finished, we are going to use Past Simple. If the action was in progress at that moment we are going to use Past continuous.
