Hey! Present simple is incorrect in this case. I'd use the perfect tense - my mum has finished her morning routine. 😊🌻

@@EnglishWithEm Here i'm talking about everyday routine, so how is it correct to use perfect tense?

@@omprakashmohapatra1940 It's because of the time expression 'by the time'. We usually use this to talk about the future. It is followed by a perfect tense because it means that one action will be completed before a certain point. By the time I go to bed, I will have done all the housework, spoken to my mum, and watched a film. When we use it to talk about routine, we need to use the present perfect tense because that tense connects the past with the present.

@@EnglishWithEm So mam 'By the time I wake up every morning,my mum has finished her morning routine' is the correct sentence. But it sounds odd. Because here i want to say the statement is true for everyday and it happens everyday in my life. Is it correct to say 'My mum finishes her morning routine everyday before i get up in the morning'.

@@omprakashmohapatra1940 Yes, that's correct, but the 'by the time' sentence sounds more natural to English ears.
