Daily routine and habitual action, event, event, or situation that happens every day and has
become a habit. Usually using the formula: subject + Verb I + Object. The use of time information
that can be used in the form of simple present tense is always, usually, every day, every morning,
every week, and so on.

Examples of Daily Routine :
In contrast to simple past tense which uses past verbs, simple present tense is a sentence
that shows things that are happening now or routine. Now one of the sentences that usually uses
simple present tense is daily activity.
What is daily activity? It is a sequential daily routine since the activity starts in the morning
until it ends at night. All words in daily activity use the simple present tense format because it is
done in the current time and is still ongoing.
The characteristics of daily activity with simple present tense are: Using basic verbs (play, work,
swim, etc.)
Verbs keep adjusting to the subject of frequency adverbs (adverb of frequency)
Example:
always, usually, often, sometimes, hardly ever, rarely, never occasionally
Here is an example of daily activity that uses simple present sentences.
