We use the present simple to tell about someting that is a fact or a habit.
The present simple is the base form of the verb:
I work in London.
But with the third person singular (she/he/it), we add an –s:
She works in London.
Let's look at these sentences
I play tennis = Positive sentence
I don't play tennis Negative sentence
Do I play tennis? Question sentence
As you can see, it is only the "hoofdwerkwoord" ,or as we say in English, the base form you use in a sentence.

The Present Continuous
We use the present continuous to tell that something is happening at the moment we speak.
For example... Look around you. I can tell what's happening now.
Your classmates are working on their iPads.
Mr.Mol is jumping on the trampoline.
Your neighbour is walking the dog.
You see? If you read the sentences you can see they are ongoing actions.
How do we create a sentence in the present continuous?
You take a Subject - I/You/He/We/They
You put a form of TO BE- am/is/are
You take a Verb - play/walk/work/
You put a -ing behind the Verb - playing / walking / working

Could vs Couldn't
Explanation
We use could as the past tense of can:

You could lose your way in the dark. (=People often lost their way in the dark)
We use could to show that something is possible in the future, but not certain:
If we don’t hurry we could be late. (=Perhaps/Maybe we will be late)
We use could have to show that something is/was possible now or at some time in the past:
It’s ten o’clock. They could have arrived now.
They could have arrived hours ago.

We use the negative can’t or cannot to show that something is impossible:
