“Talking about” vs “Talk about”
Hi, everyone.
Could anyone help me explain these 2 sentences below:
”I rarely know what she is talking about.” and
”I rarely know what she talks about.”
Are they have the same meaning?
Actually, the first one is the one that I found from the book I am reading at the moment and I am just curious that what it will mean if I make the verb into present simple form.
Or I should not make it as present simple form because it makes no sense.
Feel free to correct my sentences if you find grammar or sentence structure in there is not correct.
Thank you so much!

" is okay. This means you only understand what she's saying (in your presence) in rare instances. " would be okay in a very unusual situation (it's not synonymous with the first sentence).
