They are my mother, my father, my grand mother, my grand father, my young brother, my aunt, my uncle and my cousin. My parents have 2 child. They are my young brother and me. My young brother's name is Ariel. I have another young brother, he is my cousin, and his name is Reza. He is my uncle child. My mother and my uncle are my grandfather child. I love my grandfather and my grandmother, because they always visit me in boarding school.

Simple Present Tense

In general, the simple present tense expresses events or situations that exist always, usually, habitually, they exist now, have existed in the past and probably will exist in the future. (Understanding and Using English Grammar by Betty Azar).

Simple present tense the tense of a verb that expresses action or state in the present time and is used of what occurs or is true at the time of speaking and of what is habitual or characteristic or is always or necessarily true, that is sometimes used to refer to action in the past, and that is sometimes used for future events (Meriam Webster)
