    1) Anne is a teacher.

    Dear bhasahab

    Thank you very much indeed for yor reply.

    The following usages of Preset simple, I am already aware of:

    -to talk about our daily routines and habits etc.
    -to talk about facts which are always true.
    -to talk about time tabled future.

    Thus, may I know to which usage the sentenses in my thread belong

    Kind regards
    Udara
