 Lesson 1.2
Grammar: Simple present (+) and (-)

Objective: Apply the simple present in the description of everyday activities.

• Simple present (+)
Introduction
The present simple is the tense used to express permanent situations or events that regularly
repeat or always occur.
When expressed in its affirmative form, the verb confirms something about the subject.
Form
The present simple in affirmative uses the base form of the verb and it has the following structure:
Subject + verb + …

For the third person singular, we add -s at the end of the verb.
Exceptions:
verbs with suffixes -ch, -s, -sh, -x, -z: add -es (watch ⇒ watches; kiss ⇒ kisses; crush ⇒ crushes; tax
⇒ taxes; buzz ⇒ buzzes);
verbs ending with a consonant followed by -y: change -y to -i and add -es (cry ⇒ cries);
irregular verbs such as do, go, be and have do not follow any rule: do ⇒ does, go ⇒ goes, be ⇒ is,
have ⇒ has.
Present simple affirmative
SUBJECT VERB
I work
You work
He works
She works
It works
We work
You work
They work

Examples:
The taxi driver disappears.
Teachers perform an important role in society.
I go to the gym twice a week.
The housewife transforms into a princess.

• Simple present (-)

The formula for making a simple present verb negative is do/does + not + [root form of verb]. You
can also use the contraction don’t or doesn’t instead of do not or does not.

Examples:
Pauline does not want to share the pie.
She doesn’t think there is enough to go around.
Her friends do not agree.
I don’t want pie anyway.

Grammar: Possessives (‘s) (‘)

Objective: Use (‘s) to express possession with singular and plural nouns.
We add 's to singular nouns to show possession:

This is my parents' house.
Those are ladies' shoes.
But we use 's with irregular plural nouns:

men women children people

These are men's shoes.

Children's clothes are very expensive.
We can use a possessive instead of a full noun phrase to avoid repeating words:
Is that John's car?
No, it's Mary's. (NOT No, it's Mary's [car].)
Whose coat is this?
It's my wife's. (NOT It's my wife's [coat].)

_______________________

All over the world people have families. They help us and, care us and they make feel us safe and
loved. Some families have lots of children and others can have just a child. Some families have one
pet or many pets instead of children and they consider them as part of their family.
In many parts of the world, families share a big house where you can find aunts, uncles, nieces and
nephews, parents and grandparents living together. Some families have just a small place to live with
parents, sons or daughters but they are also happy. Sometimes family members meet in one place to
celebrate special events like birthdays, anniversaries or holidays. Adult help children to learn new
things and they pass on family stories or traditions generation from generation.
Older siblings help care for the younger brothers or sisters. They also help parents by doing house
chores such as washing the dishes, sweeping the house or feeding the cats and dogs.
I live with three people and Chloe, my kitty. She is part of my family too. We live in a small house
near the hospital. It is because my mother is a nurse and works twice a week, she has to work late by
taking care of people. My father is a teacher. He works in a school and he helps my mother by
cooking and cleaning the house. My little sister is Amy, she is only 5 years old and she assists the
kindergarten in my father’s school. I go to the University from Monday to Saturday and I really love
the time we are together.
Families are an important part of our lives; they guide us and make us who we are and I love mine.
