The document discusses the use of the present simple tense in English. It is used to describe habits and routines, as well as with stative verbs. The third person singular takes an -s ending except for verbs ending in -ch, -o, -sh, -ss, -x where an -es ending is added. Verbs ending in -y take -ies in the third person. Negative and question forms use auxiliary verbs. Time expressions like every day, every week are also used with the present simple.
