Wear

She wears very little makeup.

Does this mean, "she usually wears very little makeup," or "she is now wearing very little makeup"?

I think the former is true.

Thanks.

Right, habitual behavior. But context could turn it around, eg., in a present-tense-style narrative.

Happy New Year. - A.

"She usually wears very little makeup." I think this one is true because the verb is in the simple present tense which is used to express a habitual action. Am I right? [:^)]
