The present simple tense is used to talk about things that happen regularly, general truths, habits and permanent situations.
We use it when describing actions or states that occur repeatedly, facts that are always true or routines and schedules.
It does not refer to a specific moment in time but represents actions or states in the present.
It is not used for things happening right now or in the future, for them we use the future continuous.
