present simple or present progressive
We use present simple with adverbials such as often always frequently etc.
She always helps the poor.
She always carries a book when she travels.
We always drive carefully.
I remember learning of the use of present progressive with always for actions that we do not like.
She is always interfering in my work.
This vehicle is always giving me trouble.
They are always calling us on weekends when we want to rest.
My question: Do we use present progressive even for actions that we like; that is,can we say "She is always helping the poor"?

0in my opinion, was not included present progressive because "always" ise for habits. present progressive talk about annoying habit. so, we can't use that for actions.
i hope you understand

00Hi,
In my opinion, we can use an adverb "always" in the present progressive but to describe habits that we find irratating or annoying that happen very often.
Thank you and sorry if i'm wrong
0Hi for my opinion also always can't to become present progressive because present progressive is used for action going on in the moment of speaking not only habbitual action we do
Thank you
