My reply: So why do we concentrate on that? Why will we use any tense with 'Today'? Are you using only Simple Present with Today?
Because there are past part, present part, and future part of Today in Today alone, we may use any tense with Today. Are you aware of that? After all, we are not kids anymore.
Also, why have they made up so many tenses? Aren't three tenses enough to express three kinds of time: past, present, and future? Obviously, what we have learnt as kids is not enough.
Also, why don't people around here concentrate on that? Why will they use Meanings like Habit to explain the present?

My reply: First of all, let us get this clear: I am asking about the present time. You may skip this thread, but you shall not change my subject to match your favorite.
