Uses of the present tense in Spanish

The Spanish present tense has multiple uses: 1) Describing current actions (Yo como una manzana – I’m eating an apple), 2) Expressing habitual actions (Ella estudia todos los días – She studies every day), 3) Stating general truths (El sol sale por el este – The sun rises in the east), 4) Talking about scheduled future events (El tren sale a las 8 – The train leaves at 8).
