Why is "The girl does not read the newspaper" incorrect?

[4oYBIxtO]

It should be correct

[ApprenticeFire]

If the present simple and present continuous are the same, how do I tell the difference between: if the girl generally does not read a newspaper or the girl is not reading a newspaper at the moment?

[OhBogy]

Läser has many meanings i see, once it means learn, other time it means read, any other meaning i miss?

[Lundgren8]

The main meaning is reads and a common one is also study. Those are the two major ones.

[OhBogy]
