The simple present is used to talk about things that usually happens. Also, is used with adverbs
of frequency how usually, always, sometimes, etc. [1]

 Affirmative sentences:
Subject + Verb (infinitive) + Complement
For example:
- I study every day.
- They work in the morning.
- You learn English.
- We watch TV every day.
- She cooks in her house.
NOTE: It´s very important to know when we want say or write a sentence with third person, we
add S or ES (sh,ch,sx,z) at the end of the verb in infinitive.

For example:
- He eats at 2:30 pm.
- She works in her house.
- He plays football.
- She likes flowers.
- She goes on car.

 Negative sentences:
Subject + do (auxiliary verb) + not + verb (infinitive)

For example:
- I do not talk about it.
- He does not eat meat.
- You don´t learn Math.
- She doesn´t sing her song.

 Interrogative sentences:

Do (auxiliary verb) + Subject + verb (infinitive) +?

For example:
- Do you speak English?
- Does he eat rice?
- Do they learn French?
- Do we play basketball?
We use adverbs to describe how often frequently we do an activity. These are called adverbs of
frequently and include:

Usually I usually have milk for breakfast.
Normally/Generally You normally go to the gym.
