The simple present tense indicates an action in the present time which is not finished. This can be a habitual action (something done regularly such as brushing your teeth every day) or a general truth.
Some examples are: 1) a habitual action: I wash my car every Friday.
2) a general truth: The Rolling Stones play rock'n roll.

3. Present Progressive
In English, the present progressive is used to indicate actions happening at the time of speaking, or right now.

Simple Past
Let’s move on…
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.
Examples
I saw a movie yesterday.
I didn't see a play yesterday.
Last year, I traveled to Japan.
Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
She washed her car.
He didn't wash his car.

7. Simple Past A Series of Completed Actions
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
Examples:

He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00.

8. Simple Past
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc.
Examples:

2. Shauna studied Japanese for five years.
3. They sat at the beach all day.
4. They did not stay at the party the entire time.
5. We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.

9. Simple Past Duration in Past Habits in the Past Examples:
The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc.
Examples:
I studied French when I was a child.
He played the violin.
He didn't play the piano.
Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?
She worked at the movie theater after school.
They never went to school, they always skipped class.

10. Past Facts or Generalizations
The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true. As in above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression "used to.“
Examples:

He didn't like tomatoes before.
Did you live in Texas when you were a kid?
