II. The Present Tense

How to Use the Present Tense to Write About my Family?

The simple present tense is used to talk about the actions happening in the present. If the action takes place regularly, we use the simple present tense.
Since you live with your family, you will often write about daily activities or things done together often, so you should use the present tense.

Example:

I have a loving family. My family consists of my father, mother, elder brother, grandmother and me.
