The present tense is used most often, as you might guess, to talk about actions that are current. These can be things happening as you speak, or habitual actions that you do on a regular basis, or to emphasize that you really do a particular action. So the sentence ‘bailamos bien’ can mean “we dance well” (in general), “we are dancing well” (right now), or “we do dance well” (to emphasize the idea). You will learn from context and the situation which of those different meanings is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
