Hi
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"?

Thank you, that is what I've learned.
in 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
