Conclusion
Tasks were designed to help students acquire and develop their knowledge in present simple tense through the use of websites.
--The use of Simple Present Tense not always has to do with present time. Currently, this implies the reference to future events. Actually, most of the people prefer to say “Hello, I see you tomorrow”, “Next week my brother comes to pick me up.”, and so on.
However, It is used, as it conveys the idea for referring to actions in present time, actions that are habitual or actions done almost every day. For example a university student would say: “I go to the university”., “I study all the time before a test.”, “My mom cooks the dinner during the week”; therefore, we say that those actions are expressed in Simple Present Tense.
---We suggest to look for more websites and tutorials on the net to grasp the present simple
