Guys, the question here is about the time references of the sentences, i.e. the meaning, not the grammar structure.
Therefore:
- It always snows in the winter in my home town;
- Water boils all 100 Celsius;
- Squirrels hibernate in the winter;
- Butterflies come from caterpillars;
- Mark writes for 2 hrs every day.
These are all habits, facts, statements that are always true. It snows this year, as it did last year, so will it be next year; same with the boiling water, and the squirrels and butterflies, and even Mark does the writting every day, as in he does it today, did it the day b4 and will do it tmr. Therefore these all refer to the PRESENT, PAST and the FUTURE.
