Answer
Present simple is used for habitual actions. Present continuous is used for actions happening at the moment. The transformed sentence is "She is studying English."

Step-by-step solution

  1. State that present simple describes habitual or repeated actions.
  2. State that present continuous describes actions in progress at the current moment.
  3. Give an example for each tense.
  4. Identify that "She studies English" is habitual, so it uses present simple.
  5. To change it, use the form "is" + verb + "-ing".
