Definition of Simple Present Tense:

A form of the verb that is represented in English by either the third-person singular -s inflection (for example, "She laughs") or the base form ("I/You/We/They laugh"). Also called the non-past. Contrast with the past tense or preterite.

The present tense may refer to an action or event that is ongoing or that takes place at the present moment. However, because the present tense in English can also be used to express a range of other meanings (including references to past and future events, depending on the context), it is sometimes described as being "unmarked for time."
