Grammar
Simple present for general facts
When we want to express general facts or things that are always true, we use the present simple. For example:
In Chicago, they colour the river green for Saint Patrick’s Day.
In New York, they shine green lights on the Empire State Building to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day.
The leprechaun is a mythical creature associated with Ireland.
Remember that all forms of the present simple affirmative are the same but the 3rd person singular, where we have to include a final -s. For example:
She celebrates Saint Patrick’s Day every year with her family and friends.
