Oh my God! It was a really nice demonstration of how to use those tense forms in a sentece correctly. The quiz at the end of the video helped to keep in mind what we learned. Great job, guys.

Thank you BBC for this wonderful video. I have a query :
1. Many children do manual work due to poverty.
2. Many children do unpaid work due to poverty.
3. Meaning children do paid work due to poverty.
My teacher marked first and second one as correct but the third one as wrong. But he didn't explain why.

Why is it wrong?
Could you please explain?

Three basic differences between present simple and present continuous:
1. We use present continuous only in the case of triggering attention . Look! Catherine is wearing a sexy high heel.
2. Present continuous can replace future "going to" in speaking about arranged actions in the future. "Tom has booked the ticket. He is travelling next week"
3. We use present simple only with stative verbs. " John likes fish but Mark adores shrimps".
