Present Simple
It is used to talk about habits, general truths and routines. It is formed with the base form of the verb (infinitive without 'to'). We use verbs with -s in the third person singular (he, she, it).
Concepts:
Habits: Things that you do regularly. General truths: Things that are always true. Routines: Things that you do regularly at certain times.
