2. WHAT IS PRESENT SIMPLE?
● The simple present or present simple is one of
the verb forms associated with the present
tense in modern English. It is commonly
referred to as a tense, although it also encodes
certain information about aspect in addition to
present time. It is called "simple" because its
basic form consists of a single word (like write
or writes).
3. HOW TO USE PRESENT SIMPLE
● The principal use of the simple present is to refer to an
action or event that takes place habitually, as in He writes
for a living (in contrast to the present continuous, which
refers to something taking place at the present moment:
He is writing a letter now). However certain verbs
expressing a state, such as be and know, are used in the
simple present even when referring to a temporary
present state, There are also certain other uses
(including those mentioned in the following paragraph) in
which the simple present does not reflect a habitual
aspect.
