Simple present has three main meanings:

1. Something that is always true - The sun rises in the east. I am Portuguese.

2. Something that is true now - She lives in Spain. I like her.

3. Something that is repeated again and again ie habits - I get up at 7:00am. She plays tennis.

Some other meanings:

1. future - The train leaves at 7:00 tonight.

2. past (historic past) - Then he comes through the door, she sees him and starts shouting ......

3. a present event - I beg you be careful.

The name present simple means there is only one present tense main verb (no auxiliary verb)
