 USE 1 Repeated Actions
      
  

Use the Present Simple  to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual.
The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens.
It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 USE 2 Facts or Generalizations

 

The Present Simple can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now,  and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used  to make generalizations about people or things.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 USE 3 Now (Non-Continuous Verbs)

  

Sometimes speakers use the Present Simple to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs.
