SIMPLE PRESENT We use the present tense to talk about:
• Something that is true in the present:
I’m nineteen years old.He lives in London.I’m a student.
• Something that happens again and again in the present:
I play football every weekend.
• Something that is always true:
The adult human body contains 206 bones.Light travels at almost 300,000 kilometres per second.
• Something that is fixed in the future.
The school term starts next week.The train leaves at 19:45 this evening.We fly to Paris next week.
We use words like sometimes, often. always, and never (adverbs of frequency) with the present tense:
I sometimes go to the cinema.
