Yes it IS important because the time marker (every morning/ every day/ etc) indicates WHICH TENSE FORM or MOOD of the verb (present simple/present continuous) should be used, according to the meaning.

Time markers like "always/ususuall/often/never" are normally used with the present simple.

Yes, "All the time" and "in the afternoon" are also time markers...
