We use the present simple for :
Ne perdorim kohen e tashme per :

·        * thoughts and feelings : I think so, I like it.
* te shprehur mendime dhe ndienja

·       *  States, things staying the same, facts and things that are true for a long time:

* We live quite near .

·       *  Repeated actions :
* Veprime te perseritura We come here every week.

And also
Dhe gjithashtu

·        In phrases like I promise, I agree, etc :

·       

      * In a negative question with why to make a suggestion:
* ne nje pyetje negative te shoqeruar nga peremri pyetes ‘pse’ per te bere nje sugjerim Why don’t we go out?

* For the future meaning of the present simple :
* Shpesh koha  e tashme perdoret edhe me ndjesine e kohes se arthme, vecanerisht kur behet fjale per orare levizjesh te mjeteve te transportit. The new term starts next week.

Positive forms

Most children like ice-cream.                                                        You know the answer.
