Simple present

You know how when you talk about something that happened in the past, you use words that show that it already happened, like "yesterday" or "last week?" Well, when we talk about things happening right now or things that happen all the time, we use a different set of words - words that let people know that whatever we're talking about is happening now or always happens. And that is what we call the "simple present" tense!

For example, when you say "I run" or "she sings," you're using the simple present tense to describe something happening right now or something that happens all the time. It's kind of like looking at a picture in a storybook and pointing things out to someone - you're describing what is happening right now in the picture.

So anytime you want to talk about things happening now or things that happen all the time, you can use the simple present tense to describe it. It's a way to help people understand what's happening in the moment or what always happens.
