Simple Present Tense is used for the incidents that have been occurring at the moment or are happening routinely over some time.

Rules

Please note that there are no changes made to the actual verb form while using the Simple Present Tense except when a third person is being talked about, in which case suffix – s or -es are added to the verb. For example, go through the following sentences-

• I listen to music daily.
• I eat burger every day.
• They get bonus every year.
• Every day they go for a walk after dinner.
• He goes to the gym every morning.
• Rony listens to music every day.
• Sally visits her parents on weekends.

The first four sentences state an incident which is occurring regularly and there is no change in the actual form of the verb. i.e. listen, eat, get and go remained in their original forms. In the next three sentences since a third person is being talked about; therefore, the verb is suffixed with -s or -es i.e. goes, listens and visits.
