Using Time
Expressions in the
Present Tense
Time Expressions are words that show habitual action. Habitual actions
denote actions which are done regularly like today, every day, every
morning, every afternoon, in the evening, every Saturday or any
expression that indicates that the action happens regularly. There are
one-word time expressions or adverbs of frequency which are often used
to indicate present tense such as the following:

• always • usually
• regularly • normally
• often • sometimes
• occasionally • rarely
• seldom • never
These time expressions can be used before the main verb:
1. I always get up at 6:00 in the morning.
2. We regularly go to church on Sundays.
3. Zenie seldom drop by the family house.
They can also be used at the end of the sentence:

4. We read the newspaper occasionally.

Or can be used after the be verb:

5. Relly is never late to school.

If actions are done regularly or habitually, the verbs
used are in the simple present tense. The words
today, every day, every morning, every afternoon,
and in the evening are time expressions in the
present tense. They tell that actions are done
regularly or habitually.
