Present simple tense: A verb tense used to describe habitual actions, general truths, and fixed arrangements.
The present simple tense is primarily used to express routines and facts. It applies to both singular and plural subjects, with verb forms adjusted accordingly (e.g., "he runs" vs. "they run"). Additionally, it can describe scheduled events, especially in timetables, making it useful for talking about planned activities in the near future.
