THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE IS USED:

 To express habits, general truths, repeated actions or unchanging situations, emotions and wishes:
I smoke (habit); I work in London (unchanging situation); London is a large city (general truth)

 To give instructions or directions:

You walk for two hundred meters, then you turn left.

 To express fixed arrangements, present or future:

Your exam starts at 09.00

 To express future time, after some conjunctions: after, when, before, as soon as, until:
