Simple Present Tense is a term used in the English language to refer to a verb tense that shows actions that happen usually or always. The Simple Present Tense is also called “Indefinite Tense” because it does not describe a specific action reliably. Instead, it merely states an activity as if it occurs regularly or repeatedly without much stress on the frequency of occurrence.
