you are right , but we often use the present simple not the continuous
but if u are discribing a movement or an action that usually takes up long time , u can use the present continuous
like
it's raining
the birds seem singing
and so on
keep in ur mind that
the trees are green
is not in the present continuous
do u know that ?? if u want me to explain it further , i don't mind
