Present Tense
In grammar, the form a verb takes to express action that is taking place at the present moment.
The present tense can be applied to any subject which is performing an action, for example the present tense of the verb to go is applicable to the first, second, and third person: I go; you go; he/she/it goes; we go; you (plural) go; they go.
