present continuous and present simple

We use present continuous only with actions like( running-walking-sweeping- eating- raining)but some verbs like( know-need-want-believe-remember-understand)are not actions so we must not use present continuous. we use present simple.so we can`t say I am knowing( this is wrong) we should say I know

SEE-HEAR_SMELL_ TASTE_SEEM (we use present simple (not present continuous)with these verbs)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Past simple tense
we use this tense to express actions that happened in the past
I travelled to London last week./ we watched a nice film on Tv 3days ago.
We also use this tense in telling stories to describe what happened in the past.
we use the second conjugation of the verb

In questions we use did( when did u meet your friend?) (How did you go to work yesterday?)
In negative we use didn`t( Ididn`t see my dad last Friday.)
