GRAMMAR

Simple Present Tense indicates an action which happens in the present, but it isn’t
necessary for actions to happen right now. Simple present tense indicates,
unchanging situations, general truths, scientific facts, habits, fixed arrangements and
frequently occurring events.

THE STRUCTURES OF SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

POSITIVE FORMS (+) :
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without TO). In
general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they cook / play at home

he / she / it cooks / plays at home

Examples of POSITIVE
• Mr. Green works with my uncle
• She reads the newspaper every day
• You work at the library
• They play with my dog

NEGATIVE FORMS (-):
The following is the word order to construct a basic negative sentence in
English in the Present Tense using Don't or Doesn't.

Subject don't/doesn't Verb* The Rest of the

sentence
I / you / we / they don't have / buy cereal for breakfast
he / she / it doesn't eat / like
etc.

Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

• He doesn’t play tennis.

• She doesn't like fish.
• I don’t understand the question.
• They don’t speak Spanish.
• They don't want to go to the party.

https://wordwall.net/es/resource/6268685/presente-simple-negacion/simple-present-
negative

QUESTION FORMS (?) :

The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or
Does.

Do/Does Subject Verb* The Rest of the sentence

Do I / you / we / they have / need a new bike?

Does he / she / it want etc.

*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The
infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is
just the have part.

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed)

and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to
speak etc.

7
Examples of Questions with Do and Does:

• Does she sing opera?

• Do you eat Chinese food?
• Do they walk every day together?
• Does she work for your father?
• Does he like your new car?

Short Answers with Do and Does

In questions that use do/does it is possible to give short answers to direct

questions as follows:

Sample Questions Short Answer Short Answer

(Affirmative) (Negative)

Does she sing opera? Yes, she does. No, she doesn't.

 NOTE:
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they speak / learn English at home

speaks /
he / she / it learns English at home
The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

go – goes catch – catches wash – washes kiss – kisses fix – fixes

For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.

marry – marries study – studies carry – carries worry – worries

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.

play – plays
enjoy – enjoys

https://wordwall.net/es/resource/28490990/english/spelling-rules-simple-present

ATTENTION

NOTES:
We use other question words like (Who, What, Why , How much / many,
How often etc.) in present tense.
1) Question Words (who, what, why, how much / many, how often etc.) + do /
does + subject pronoun (he, she, it, I, you, we, they) + V1 ( First Form of Verb )
Examples:
▪ How often does he call you?
▪ Why do you always do this?
▪ How much does it cost?
2) Question Words (who, what, why, etc.) + V1 / V (-s,-es,-ies) + object pronouns
( me, you, him, her, it, us, them)
Examples:
▪ Who gives him a scholarship?
▪ What makes you angry?

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

Watch the video and make the following exercise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAHD0rqlj8I&t=7s

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my
homework.
He normally gets good marks in
exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + to be + adverb

They are never pleased to see

me.
She isn't usually bad
tempered.

16
When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the

adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be.

Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb

She can sometimes beat me in a race.

I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.
They might never see each other again.
They could occasionally be heard laughing.

READING

Going to work in the morning

My job is a long distance from my home, almost 50 miles away. I have to wake up
early every morning, as I’m always in a rush. There’s never enough time for a relaxed
breakfast. At exactly 6:00 AM, I get into my car and start the long drive.
I usually like driving on the highway more than in the city. During the morning rush
hour, though, it’s not very enjoyable. The heavy traffic is a little bit annoying. So I
always listen to my favorite classical music CD’s in the car – Chopin, Mozart, and Bach.
That cheers me up a lot.
The drive to work takes about one hour. Going back home in the evening after work
takes even longer, maybe around 70 minutes. Lately I’ve been thinking about trying to
take the train to work instead of driving. That way, I could still listen to my music with
headphones, and even read a novel at the same time.

28
Read the paragraph and choose the correct answer

What time does he wake up every morning?

a. After the morning rush hour

b. At exactly 6:00 AM

c. Late in the morning

d. Early in the morning

How is driving during the morning rush hour?

b. Not very enjoyable

c. It’s classical

d. It’s relaxing

a. Disco

b. Jazz

c. Classical

d. Heavy metal

How long might the evening drive back home take?

a. Around 70 minutes

b. 70 kilometers

c. Less than the drive in the morning

d. 50 minutes

GRAMMAR
What rules do you have to keep in mind?
The verb to be is an irregular verb, as can be seen in its forms in the past simple (which

can be translated by: I was / was / was / was, you were / was / were / were, etc.).

Affirmative Negative Interrogative

I was I wasn’t Was I...?

You were You weren’t Were you…?

He / She / It was He / She / It wasn’t Was he / she / it…?

We were We weren’t Were we...?

You were You weren’t Were you...?

They were They weren’t Were they...?

This verb speaks of a state or a situation (for example, how you feel), and can be used

to describe things. When you use it in the past tense you need to make sure you use

the forms that we have shown you in the previous table, and not the infinitive "be".

For example:
Affirmative
There was a concert last night.
There were three parties last night.

Negative
There wasn’t a good teacher in my school.
There weren’t any chairs in the room.

Read the text and answer the questions.

This is My autobiography.
I am Stella. I was born in Quito, Ecuador. I am 23 years old. I studied
elementary school in a town near Quito. This was a public school. I
remember this school was great, it was small and all the children from the
town went there to study. There were not many students, so I met good
friends there. When I was 15, I moved to Mexico City and I studied in a public
high school. This was difficult. I did not know many people and everywhere
was crowded and noisy. It was difficult for me to adapt to. I remember people
in my group were loud, but now I know that is Mexican style. They were great
to me and we went to parties a lot. Then I decided to study the arts. I
remember painting since I was a little girl and everybody loves what I do.

When I was 15 I received my first kiss, it was a goodbye kiss because I was
moving to Mexico. German, a boy who studied with me didn’t want me to
leave Ecuador. He was very attentive and generous to me. I liked him very
much but I didn’t love him. People from Ecuador are nice and generous but
we love our freedom and, in my case, I take love pretty seriously. That’s why
I think I have never fallen in love.
