Verb usageThe Spanish present indicative tense has several
equivalents in English. As in English, it can express present habitual actions:
Estudiamos español en la universidad.We study Spanish at the university.
But, unlike English, it can also express ongoing actions:
En este momento estudiamos en la biblioteca.Right now we’re studying in the library.
It can even express future actions:
Esta noche estudiamos para el examen.Tonight we will study for the exam.
