Present tenses: simple present (use)

1. General time: It always rains in November

We often use the simple present to talk about permanent situations, or about things that
happen regularly, repeatedly, or all the time.

What do frogs eat? (NOT What are frogs eating?

It always rains in November.
I play tennis every Wednesday.
I love you, Alex.

Simple present: permanent situations

Daniel loves Alex

PAST Now FUTURE

Simple present: things that happen repeatedly

I play tennis every Wednesday
 PAST Now FUTURE

2. Not used for things happening just around the present

We do not usually use the present simple to talk about temporary situations, or actions that are
only going on around the present. For example:

- Water boils at 100º Celsius.

The kettle is boiling at 100º Celsius – shall I make Tea? (NOT The kettle boils...)
- It usually snows in January.
Look – it’s snowing! (NOT Look – it snows!)
- I play tennis every Wednesday.
Where’s Bernard? – He’s playing tennis. (NOT … He plays tennis.)

3. Non-progressive verbs
However, the simple present is used for things happening ‘around the present’ when the verb
does not have not have progressive forms.

- I like this wine very much. (NOT I’m liking…)

- I believe you. (NOT I’m believing you.)

4. Talking about the future

The simple present is used for ‘timetabled’ future events
His train arrives at 11.46. I start my new job tomorrow.

The simple present is also often used instead of will … in subordinate clauses that refer to the
future.
I’ll kill anybody who touches my car. (NOT … who will touch …)
I’ll phone you when I get home. (NOT … when I’ll get home.)

5. Series of events:
Demonstrations, commentaries, instructions, stories
When we talk about series of completed actions and events, we often use the simple present.
This happens, for example, in demonstrations, commentaries, instructions and present-tense
stories.
First I take a bowl and break two eggs into it. Next … (NOT First I am taking a bowl…)
Square passes to James, James shoots – and it’s goal!
How do I get to the Bolivar’s square? – You go straight on to the traffic lights, then you turn left, …
 So I go into the office, and I see this man, and he says to me…

Keep in mind that not all nouns correspond to he, she,

it, etc. A noun that takes part in an action, from a
grammatical point of view, appoints the object,
animal, person or thing (even abstract ones) from
whom the sentence is just a predicate. Some examples
are: the car goes fast, the dog stinks, nobody knows
the answer, Does anybody need help? , somebody
I can plant a plant in the forest?
cares, the computer is on the table and more.
I.C.P.A.P.I.T.F
