Time references

Hi,

I'm doing an exercise that requires me to select which sentences are refering to the present, which to the past, which to the future and which to ALL 3. I'm fairly confident with all of them except for 4 that remain which I think fit into ALL 3 categories but I want to double check.



"It always snows in winter in my hometown"

"Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius."

"Aliens Fly Over Roswell"

"Mark writes for two hours every day."


Thanks in advance!
