Question

Hi friends. Mi teacher today taught us about present continues. So im confused now! Is horrible. For example (e.g)
- I'v never driven a car
-I never drive a car
-I never drove a car
What is correct or no? What mean in some context? Is present continuous similar to form in past?

Another example-
I've swom in the river is similar to " I swam in the river"?
I swim in the river is similar to I'm swimming in the river?.

Please help me. Thanks.

Unsafety2I've never driven a car.

Correct as corrected. States a fact about your past life.

Unsafety2I never drove a car.
Correct. Sometimes used to mean the same as the sentence above. The past tense (drove) is sometimes used with never.
Unsafety2I never drive a car.
Refers to the current state of affairs in your life.
Unsafety2 Is present continuous similar to form in past?
No. Besides, there's nothing in present continuous in any of your sentences.
Unsafety2I've swom in the river is similar to " I swam in the river"?
No. The usage with never is an exception. I've swom is incorrect. I've swum is right.
Unsafety2I swim in the river is similar to I'm swimming in the river?.
Both tenses have their uses. Of course they are "similar" but they are normally used in different contexts. Google for "present simple" and "present continuous" and you'll get lots of information about them.
