Default Re: How to explain verbs

Welcome.

"run" is present tense, and present tense expresses a fact, a habit or a routine. For example,

I watch TV in the evenings. (fact and routine)
I dislike fermented bean paste. (fact)
I go to the movies once a month. (fact and routine)
I run to the store when I'm out of ice-cream; i.e., I crave ice-cream. (fact)
I run to the store every morning; i.e., I like to jog. (fact and routine)
