  • to state universal truth or general truths (Singapore is an island.)
  • to show the immediate present (He lives near the school.)
  • to indicate a fixed or planned future action (My plane leaves at 9 o'clock in the morning.)
Present Continuous Tense 
  • to show that an action is going on at the time of speaking (Hurry up! We are waiting for you.)
  • to indicate an action that is planned to take place in the future. (The parade is starting soon.)
