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 is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly. Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the end.

Examples:

• Emma watches cartoons every day.
• Izzy drinks milk every night before going to bed.

The simple present tense is also used to talk about habitual actions or occurrences.

Example: Ms. Jackson travels during the summer.

We use present continuous when we want to describe a temporary action that is currently in progress.

Example: Max can’t come to the phone right now because he is brushing her teeth.
