SIMPLE PRESENT

SIMPLE PRESENT

• The present simple is used to talk about things that happen regularly. Unlike Spanish, the present simple is not used to talk about something that is happening at the moment we are speaking.

• The present simple is often used with adverbs of time:

always (siempre), every day (cada día), usually (normalmente), often (a menudo), sometimes (a veces), rarely (raramente), hardly ever (casi nunca), never (nunca)…
