📝Grammar: 1A: Present simple and continuous, action and non-action verbs

Use the **present simple** for things that are always true or happen regularly. Automation reshapes whole industries, and disruption rarely arrives from the market leaders. With **he / she / it**, remember the third-person spelling: he lives, she studies, it encrypts. The old paradigm shifts, and the whole company adapts. For questions, use **ASI** order (Auxiliary, Subject, Infinitive): Do you trust encryption? With a question word, use **QuASI**: How does telemetry actually work? Adverbs of frequency go **before the main verb** and **after be**. Our engineers rarely trust a single backup.
