:A\ Study this example situation
*********************************

But He drives a bus. Because he's a bus driver

B\ We use the present simple to talk about things in general. We aren't thinking only about now
We use it to say that something happens all the time or repeatedlly, or that something is true in general
It's not important whether the action is happening at the time of speaking
Just remember that we say he/she/it -s, so,, don't forget the s
I work...He works,, They teach... Your sister teaches..... etc
:Examples
=========
Nurses look after patients in hospitals-
I usually go away at weekends-
The earth goes round the sun-

C\ We use do/does to make questions and negative sentences
?I come from Syria. Where do you come from-
"Would you like a cigarette?" ,,, "No, thanks. I don't smoke"-
?What does this word mean-
Rice doesn't grow in cold climates-
"What do you do?" (=What's your job?),,, " I work in a shop"-

D\ Also we use the present simple when we say how often we do things

?How often do you go to the dentist-
Ann doesn't drink tea very often-
In summer, John usually plays tennis once or twice a week-
##############################
E\ I promise / I apologise .... etc
Sometimes we do things by saying something. For example, when you promise to do something, you can say "I promise..."; when you suggest something, you can say "I suggest..." etc
:We use the present simple (promise/suggest... etc) in sentences like this
I promise I won't be late (not I'm promising)a-
"What do you suggest I do?" ,,,, "I suggest that you...etc"-
In the same way we say: I apologise.../ I advice.../ I insist.../ I agree.../ I refuse... etc
