1. Suppose it's monday (school day), and I ask my friends if they know they will have any tests this week. Should I ask:"Do you have any tests this week?" Or "Will you have any tests this week?" If it's wednesday already, but I want to know the same thing from my other friends, (I don't care about if they have already taken some exams, but if they have some exams this week) can I still use the present tense? or past.....?
2. In news, it usually says: Someone dies at 83. Why they used 'dies', not 'died'? Also, there are some other things which have already happened, but they used present tense.
Thanks.

'Do you have any tests coming up this week?'
2. Often in a news announcement they will say that e.g. 'Ronald Reagan dies at 93'. But they would only say that on the first news of his death. A few days after you wouldn't hear it again b
