Present Continuous versus Present Simple

[astaf]

There are a couple of very simple sentences but I still have a doubt about the correct usage of the tense :

1. One shouldnt drink when one drives/is driving.
2. She always tries /is tryig a little too hard to make people like her.
3. I have an appointment with your boss . Where do i go in/ am I goig in ?
4. What do we do now? / are we doing now?she asked as they reached the street
5. Where do we go/are we going from here ?

I will be realy happy if you could explaine the tense usage in the examples above.

4. What do we do now? / are we doing now?she asked as they reached the street It makes no sense to me)
5. Where do we go/are we going from here ? (It makes no sense to me)

What is happening at the moment is present continuous.
What is always happening is present simple(habits - facts)

According to the grammer book the correct variants are :

1 . One shouldn't drink when one drives/is driving. - I am a bit puzzled here . The only idea that I have in mind is that the process is emphasized here :-?
2. She always tries /is tryig a little too hard to make people like her. - I suppose that in this case the speaker disapproves of the way she behaves and finds it a bit irritating

You could use either for 1.
For 2. only "tries" is right, unless you have copied it incorrectly.
With "trying", we would say "She is always trying too hard", not "She always is trying too hard." Besides, "tries" is much more common.

thanks for your help . Surely I copied it incorrectly , the correct version reads : She always is trying too hard .

"She always is trying too hard." This is not natural English.
