Question

would vs simple present
Can we use would instead of the  simple present tense?

Answer

I assume you're talking about the "habitual aspect".  We use the habitual aspect to emphasize that n action is repeated.

For instance, this sentence is in *past simple*: "When I lived in China, I *went* to the market every day".
And this sentence is in *past habitual*: "When I lived in China, I *would go* to the market every day."
The two sentences mean the same thing, but adding "would" emphasizes the repetitive nature of the action.

For *present habitual*, we use "will" instead of "would".
EX: "I wake up very early.  I *will usually wake up* around 4:30 AM, but sometimes I sleep in as late as 6:00."
Here, "will wake up" looks just like future tense, but it's actually present habitual.

Answer

I think you would need to give us an example.

We use present simple to express facts, habits and general truths.

"Would" is completely hypothetical.

Answer

I don't understand your question. And I'm guessing I'm not the only one who doesn't understand it.
