Present tense verbs

What are present tense verbs?

  • The present tense is the most frequently used tense in Spanish and functions quite similarly to the English present tense. The present tense is employed to express many things; mainly, it is used to describe something that is happening either right now (the train is leaving) or in the near future (the train leaves in an hour), to express a general truth (the train is comfortable) or to describe a habitual action (I take the train to work every week).
  • It is also important to keep in mind that in English there are more ways to express an action in the present than in Spanish. For example:
I DRINKI AM DRINKING YO BEBOI DO DRINK
