Okay, let's talk about the present tense. In English, the present tense is mainly used to talk about:

 * Habits and routines: These are things you do regularly. For example, "I drink coffee every morning," or "She walks her dog after work."

 * General truths and facts: These are things that are always true. For instance, "The sun rises in the east," or "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius."

 * Scheduled events in the near future: Sometimes, we use the present tense for things that are planned to happen. For example, "The train leaves at 6 pm," or "The movie starts in ten minutes."
