Ex. = I play basketball. (= I play on a regular ba: = 1am playing basketball. (= 1 am playing at this moment, right now) = Monica speaks Spanish. ( ually speaks Spanish, It is her native language.) = Monica is speaking al . (= She is speaking English now. We don’t know if it's her native language or not) When we talk about doing sports in the present tense, we often use the word play/plays .
