Due to the fact that there are so many usages of the Present Tense, it’s essential to see just how it’s used in each of these major cases. Today, the verbs “necesitar” (to need), “correr” (to run) and “abrir” (to open) are covered.

Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the music used in today’s lesson.
So, in today’s lesson, we learned how to use the Present Tense, when it’s used to express something that happens on a regular basis, that is, something that happens “habitually”. Can someone give an example of how this is done in Spanish?
