What is the present simple tense?

The present simple tense is a grammatical tense used to describe actions or states that are habitual, regular, or permanent. It is used to talk about general truths, routines, habits, and facts that are true in the present. In the present simple tense, the verb remains in its base form for all subjects except for the third person singular (he, she, it), where an -s or -es is added to the verb. For example, "I eat breakfast every morning" or "She works at a bank."
