The difference between OF and FROM!!!
OF
Of - Possession
Of is mainly used as a possessive.
e.g.:
He is a friend OF mine.
The color OF the house is red.
PS:It's more common to use the possessive S or the possessive adjective in English.
FROM
From - Origins
From is generally used to express that something originates from something else, that something comes from somewhere, or some person. For example,
Jack comes from Portland.
This formula derives from the work of Peter Schimmel.
This pearl comes from the South Pacific.
This formula derives from the work of Peter Schimmel.
This pearl comes from the South Pacific.
From - To / From - Until
From can also be used with the prepositions 'to' and 'until' to mark the beginning and ending point of time of an action or state. Generally, 'from ... to' is used with past tenses, while 'from ... until' is used when speaking about future actions. However, 'from ... to' can be used in most situations. For example,
I played tennis from two until four in the afternoon yesterday.
We are meeting in Chicago from Monday until Thursday.
We are meeting in Chicago from Monday until Thursday.

Present Continuous
Use 1:Now
We use it to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.
e.g.:
You are learning English now.
We are not listening to music now.
Are they watching TV now?
Use 2:Longer actions in progress now
In English “now” can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century and so on. Sometimes, we use the Present continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress even though we are not doing at the time of speaking.
e.g.:
I am studying to become a doctor.
I am not reading any books right now.
Are you working on any project?
Use 3:Near future
Sometimes, we use the Present continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future.
e.g.:
I am meeting some friends after work.
He is not going to the party tonight.
Are they visiting their parents next weekend?
Use 4:Repetition and irritation with "always"
When we use the present continuous with words such as “always” or “constantly” we want to express the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens.
Ps: those adverbs appear always between “be” and “-ing”.
e.g.:
She is always coming to class.
He is constantly talking.
I don’t like them because they are always complaining.
Structure:
Subject+ to be verb+ ing verb+ comp.

There are different time and using of it so lets check it by each one ok???
Use1: Repeated actions in the present time(duhhhhhhh)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
past present future
We use the Simple present to talk about things that happen repeatedly or usually as a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens.
e.g.:
I play tennis.
She does not play tennis.
They do not play tennis.
Use2: Facts or generalization(wtf??)
-----------------------------------
Past Present future
The Simple present can also indicates the speaker believes that a fact is true now. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.
e.g.:
Cats like milk.
Birds do not like milk.
Do pigs like milk?
Use3: Scheduled events in the near future.
X
Past Present Future
We occasionally use Simple present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.
e.g.:
The train leaves tonight at 6 pm.
The train does not arrive tonight at 6 pm.
Does the Train arrive tonight at 8 pm?
Auxiliary Verbs
In the Simple present tense the auxiliary verbs are: Do and Does.
They are used in interrogatives and negatives sentences to show the Simple present is being used.
e.g.:
Do you work a lot?
Does she like him?
She doesn’t like that dog.
I don’t study English on Saturdays.
Use4: Now(non-continuous verbs)
We sometimes use the Simple present to express the idea that an action is happening now. This can only be done with non-continuous verbs and mixed verbs.
e.g.:
I am here now.
He needs help right now.
Do you have your passport with you?
Non-continuous verbs: Usually things you cannot see somebody doing. They are rarely used in continuous sentence. They are:
Abstract verbs: to be, to want, to cost, to seem, to need, to care, to contain, to owe and to exist. (There are others but here just the most common ones).
Possession verbs: to possess, to own, and to belong. (There are others).
Emotion verbs: To like, to love, to hate, to dislike, to fear, to envy, to mind. (There are others).
Mixed verbs: These verbs have more than one meaning. In a way, each meaning is a unique verb. Some meanings behave like “non-continuous verbs”, while others behave like “normal verbs”.
To appear, to feel, to have, to hear, to look, to see and to weigh.(There are others).
