The present tense is used when we need to emphasize the action itself, like "the sun is shining". We also use the present tense when we talk about actions that are happening now or regularly, such as "I have porridge with fruit for breakfast in the morning". Or "it usually rains here quickly." The present tense is also used when we talk about the fact of an intended or planned action, as in "I'm going to Belavista in the evening". You also use the present tense to explain the details of a situation or ask clarifying questions like "What about this place, shall we go there?"
