You can simply identify the tenses with the suffixes that are added to the verb.
'Bil-(i)yorum' -yor usually defines the present continuous tense. (Why did I say 'usually'? In some cases -yor can be used as simple present tense as well.)
We can say that '-yor' in Turkish is the '-ing' form.
'Bil-(i)rim' Simple Present Tense
