The answer is: something that continues to happen
The simple present tense, particularly, refers to an action that occurs regularly, as a habit or routine, or something that is always true. It is usually used with adverbs of frequency (such as always, sometimes or never) or time expressions which indicate how often the action happens. For example:
<em>I go to school </em><u><em>everyday</em></u><em>.</em>
<em>I </em><u><em>never</em></u><em> play computer games in the evening.</em>
