English grammar: Present simple:

We use the present simple to talk about actions we see as long term or permanent. It is a very common and very important tense.

Here, we are talking about regular actions or events

For example: 

→They drive to the office every day.

→She does not come here very often.

→The news usually starts at 6:00 every evening.

→ Do you usually have bacon and eggs for breakfast?

Here, we are talking about fact 

For example:

→We have two children.

→What does this expression mean?

→The sun rises in the east and sets in the west

………..
