➔ Adverb of Frequency (usually) + Present Simple
➔ The adverb 'usually' indicates how often the action happens. The present simple is used to describe habitual actions or general truths. The phrase '50% discount' functions as the object of the verb 'gives'.
-
Don't worry. It's just breakfast.
➔ Imperative (Don't worry) + Subject + Verb (It is)
➔ 'Don't worry' is a negative imperative, giving a command or advice. 'It is just breakfast' is a simple statement of fact, using the present simple to describe the situation.
-
I'll pay you back when we get to an ATM.
➔ Future Simple (I'll pay) + Time Clause (when we get)
➔ 'I'll pay' is a contraction of 'I will pay', expressing a future intention. The 'when' clause introduces a time condition – the payment will happen *after* they reach an ATM. The clause uses the present simple ('get') to refer to a future event.
