PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE

INTRODUCTION:

The simple present tense is when you use a verb to tell about things that happen continually in the present, like every day, every week, or every month. We use the simple present tense for anything that happens often or is factual. The simple present tense is used to express habits, general truths, repeated actions or unchanging situations, emotions and wishes. It is called "simple" because its basic form consists of a single word (like write or writes)

DEFINITION:

The present indefinite tense, also known as simple present tense, denotes a stative or habitual or eternally true action. Generally, simple present tense is used to indicate an action which happens – always, regularly, every day, daily, normally, at times, at present, now and then, or all the time.

EXPLAINATION:

the simple present tense form of the verb in a sentence is defined as “the tense that is used to refer to events, actions, and conditions that are happening all the time, or exists now". The present tenses of a verb are the ones that are used to talk about things that happen regularly or situations that exist at this time.
