Grammar A2 - Present Simple Schedules bus leaves a6 6
![]()
The present simple tense is often used to talk about things that happen regularly or events that are scheduled. This includes things like:
Public transportation timetables (e.g., buses, trains, flights)
Work or school schedules (e.g., classes, meetings)
Opening and closing times (e.g., shops, restaurants)
In these cases, the present simple is used even though the event is in the future, because it is scheduled and fixed.
Examples:
The bus leaves at 6 p.m.
This is a scheduled event, and the verb "leaves" is in the present simple tense.
The train arrives at 8:30.
Again, this describes a timetable and uses the present simple ("arrives").
