6.2 Talking about Daily Routine

Working with Habitual Activities

In Telugu, we use future tense pattern to speak about all present habitual activities, unless the time is specified.

For instance:

  • Present Habitual: నేను పొద్దున కాఫీ తాగుతాను.
  • Future tense: నేను రేపు పొద్దున కాఫీ తాగుతాను.
