What Is It

Discussion of Activity 1

Using Correct Time Expressions to Tell Action in the Present

We use certain time expressions with simple present tense.

1. Days of the Week

- Days of the week are often used with “s” when we talk about
repeated actions.
Example: We visit our grandmother on Sundays.
 2. Times of the day
We usually use at with clock time.
Example: I eat breakfast at 6:00 am.

3. Time expressions like every day, each year, once a week, once a month,
always, daily, regularly, usually, often, in the evening etc. appear at the
beginning or at the end of the sentence in the present simple.

4. The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present
tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly.
