There are different time and using of it so lets check it by each one ok???
Use1: Repeated actions in the present time(duhhhhhhh)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
past              present             future
We use the Simple present to talk about things that happen repeatedly or usually as a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens.
e.g.:

I play tennis.
She does not play tennis.
They do not play tennis.
Use2: Facts or generalization(wtf??)
-----------------------------------
Past             Present           future
The Simple present can also indicates the speaker believes that a fact is true now. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.
e.g.:

Cats like milk.
Birds do not like milk.
Do pigs like milk?
Use3: Scheduled events in the near future.
                                   X
Past             Present           Future
We occasionally use Simple present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.

e.g.:
The train leaves tonight at 6 pm.
The train does not arrive tonight at 6 pm.
Does the Train arrive tonight at 8 pm?

Auxiliary Verbs
In the Simple present tense the auxiliary verbs are: Do and Does.


They are used in interrogatives and negatives sentences to show the Simple present is being used.
e.g.:
Do you work a lot?
Does she like him?
She doesn’t like that dog.
I don’t study English on Saturdays.

Use4: Now(non-continuous verbs)
We sometimes use the Simple present to express the idea that an action is happening now. This can only be done with non-continuous verbs and mixed verbs.

e.g.:
I am here now.
He needs help right now.
Do you have your passport with you?

Non-continuous verbs: Usually things you cannot see somebody doing. They are rarely used in continuous sentence. They are:


Abstract verbs: to be, to want, to cost, to seem, to need, to care, to contain, to owe and to exist. (There are others but here just the most common ones).

Possession verbs: to possess, to own, and to belong. (There are others).

Emotion verbs: To like, to love, to hate, to dislike, to fear, to envy, to mind. (There are others).

Mixed verbs: These verbs have more than one meaning. In a way, each meaning is a unique verb. Some meanings behave like “non-continuous verbs”, while others behave like “normal verbs”.
To appear, to feel, to have, to hear, to look, to see and to weigh.(There are others).
