Simple Present Tense
Use

1.    Regular habits or daily routine: Use the Simple
     Present to express the idea that an action is repeated
     or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily
     event or something that often happens.

     E.g.     - I play soccer
              - The school opens every morning at 7 AM.
              - He always forgets her bag.
              - Every twelve months, the Earth circles
              the Sun.
Use

2. Facts or generalizations: The Simple Present can also
   indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before,
   is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not
   important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also
   used to make generalizations about people or things.

    E.g.      - Cats like milk.
              - Caracas is the capital of Venezuela
              - Windows are not made of wood.
Use

3.    Scheduled Events in the Near Future: Speakers
     occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled
     events in the near future. This is most commonly done
     when talking about public transportation, but it can be
     used with other scheduled events as well.


     E.g.     - The bus leaves tonight at 6 PM.
              - When do we board the plane?
              - The party starts at 8 o'clock.
Use

The simple present is used with adverbs like:


    - Always :     I always come to school by car
    - Often:       I don’t come here very often
    - Usually:     He usually eats breakfast at 7:00 AM
    - Sometimes:   Sometimes I go to party
    - Rarely:      She rarely cooks
    - Never:       He is never late for class
    - Every day:   They sleep early every day
Grammar rules


1.    To form the Simple Present we add -s to the
     infinitive of the verb in the 3rd person singular (he,
     she, it)

 E.g.         I live He/she/it lives
              I sing He/she/it sings
Grammar rules

2. But when the verb ends in

 a) -o, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x we add -es

 E.g.       I go  He/she/it goes
            I kiss  He/she/it kisses
            I watch  He/she/it watches
            I wash  He/she/it washes
            I fix  He/she/it fixes
Grammar rules

b) a consonant followed by –y, the –y changes into -
ie and we add -s

E.g.      I study  He/she studies

c) a vowel followed by –y we just add -s

E.g.      I play  He/she plays
Grammar rules

3. To form the negative and the interrogative we need the
   auxiliary verb to do in the present simple. This means we
   have to add -es in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it)
   while the main verb will be used in the infinitive.

 E.g.              I                   I
             Do    You    like?        You    don’t like
                   They                They

                  She                  She
             Does He      like?        He     doesn’t like
                   It                  It
Grammar Structure

                             Affirmative

Subject + Verb (add -e, -es to the 3rd person singular)+ complement

                              Negative

Subject + Aux. do/does + not + verb + complement

                            Interrogative

Aux. do/does + subject + verb + complement + ?

Simple present tense

  • 2. Use 1. Regular habits or daily routine: Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event or something that often happens. E.g. - I play soccer - The school opens every morning at 7 AM. - He always forgets her bag. - Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun.
  • 3. Use 2. Facts or generalizations: The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things. E.g. - Cats like milk. - Caracas is the capital of Venezuela - Windows are not made of wood.
  • 4. Use 3. Scheduled Events in the Near Future: Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well. E.g. - The bus leaves tonight at 6 PM. - When do we board the plane? - The party starts at 8 o'clock.
  • 5. Use The simple present is used with adverbs like: - Always : I always come to school by car - Often: I don’t come here very often - Usually: He usually eats breakfast at 7:00 AM - Sometimes: Sometimes I go to party - Rarely: She rarely cooks - Never: He is never late for class - Every day: They sleep early every day
  • 6. Grammar rules 1. To form the Simple Present we add -s to the infinitive of the verb in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) E.g. I live He/she/it lives I sing He/she/it sings
  • 7. Grammar rules 2. But when the verb ends in a) -o, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x we add -es E.g. I go  He/she/it goes I kiss  He/she/it kisses I watch  He/she/it watches I wash  He/she/it washes I fix  He/she/it fixes
  • 8. Grammar rules b) a consonant followed by –y, the –y changes into - ie and we add -s E.g. I study  He/she studies c) a vowel followed by –y we just add -s E.g. I play  He/she plays
  • 9. Grammar rules 3. To form the negative and the interrogative we need the auxiliary verb to do in the present simple.
