Sarah usually goes away two or three times a year. 4- The bus leaves at 8.15 a.m. 5- The plane arrives at10.30 p.m. We use the present simple tense to talk about things in general.

1- Sarah is driving to work. 2- The boys and girls are enjoying the party. 3. David wants to work in America, so he is learning English. 4. I am meeting Ali at the airport this evening. 5- He is leaving to Canada next week. We use the present continuous tense to talk about actions that are happening now and to describe planned future.
