Present Tense


Present Tense is divided into 4 parts :
-Simple Present Tense
-Present Future Tense
-Present Perfect Tense
-Present Continous Tense
But, for this post, same like PAST TENSE, I just want to tell about theSIMPLE PRESENT TENSE. So, what is SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE?
Simple present tense is used to indicate a situation right now at the moment of speaking. The simple present tense says something was true in the past, is true in the present, & will be true in the future. The simple present tense is used for habitual or everyday activity. It is used for general statement of fact.
