What do I wear today?

Can I say "what do I wear today?"

I wear is just a simple present tense, and I've learned that simple present is not used usually, except like in something true ( Earth goes around the Sun )

Do I need to say differently, like what am I going to wear?

Thanks.

This appears to be someone talking to him/herself. Either tense will work in that case.

That is not true. The present simple is widely used, and for many different things.

I'm sorry, but I don't get the meaning of this sentence: I engage first gear and let the clutch up.

I am not a teacher.

Do you know how to drive a car?

It means, "I put it in first gear and let the clutch out."

Does your car have a "stick shift" (a manual/standard transmission) or is it an automatic? If you have ever driven a stick, that's the process of getting the car to actually move forward. If you have more questions about that, let's start a new thread in the members section.
