SIMPLE PRESENT

(a) It snows in Alaska.
(b) I watch television every day.

In general, the simple present expresses events or situations that exist always, usually, habitually; they exist now, have existed in the past, and probably will exist in the future.


SIMPLE PAST

(c) It snowed yesterday.
(d) I watched television last night.

At one particular time in the past, this happened. It began and ended in the past.

SIMPLE FUTURE

(e) It will snow tomorrow.
(f) I will watch television tonight.

At one particular time in the future, this will happen.
