Questions & Answers about Я обычно выхожу из дома рано утром.
Why do we use выхожу, not выйду, if the English translation is I usually leave the house?
Russian uses the imperfective aspect for habits and repeated actions.
выхожу = present tense, imperfective of выходить
→ describes something you do regularly:
Я обычно выхожу из дома рано утром. = I usually leave the house early in the morning.выйду = future tense, perfective of выйти
→ describes one complete action in the future:
Я выйду из дома рано утром. = I will leave the house early in the morning (on that occasion).
So with обычно (usually), you almost always need the imperfective: выхожу, not выйду.
What exactly does выходить mean here? How is it different from уходить or идти?
