The simple present is a verb tense which is used to show repetition, habit or
generalization. At the beginner level it has three uses:

 USE 1 Repeated Actions/Habits/Routines

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, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets
or usually does not do.

Examples:
 I play tennis. (El juega tenis)
 She does not play tennis. (Ella no juega tenis)
 Does he play tennis? (¿Juega el tenis?)
 The train leaves every morning at 8 AM. (El tren sale todas las mañanas a las 8 AM)
 The train does not leave at 9 AM. (El ten no sale a las 9 AM
 When does the train usually leave? (¿Cuándo el tren sale usualmente?
 She always forgets her purse. (Ella siempre olvida su bolso)
 He never forgets his wallet. (El nunca olvida su billetera)

 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.

Examples:
 Cats like milk. (A los gatos les gusta la leche)
 Birds do not like milk. (A las aves no les gusta la leche)
 Do pigs like milk? (¿A los cerdos les gusta la leche?)
 California is in America. (California esta en América)
 California is not in the United Kingdom. (California no está en el reino unido)
 New York is a small city. (Nueva York es un pequeña ciudad)
  USE 3 Now (Non-Continuous Verbs)
Speakers sometimes use the simple present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening
now. This can only be done with non-continuous verbs and certain mixed verbs.

Examples:
 I am here now. (Yo estoy aquí ahora)
 She is not here now. (Ella no está aquí ahora)
 He needs help right now. (El necesita ayuda ahora mismo)
 He does not need help now. (El no necesita ayuda ahora)
 He has his passport in his hand. (El tiene su pasaporte en su mano)
 Do you have your passport with you? (¿Tienes tu pasaporte contigo?)

El Presente Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones habituales que
suceden con cierta frecuencia y no hace referencia a si está ocurriendo en el momento actual:

 I play tennis. (Yo juego tenis).

(Hace mención de un deporte que realizo cotidianamente y que no necesariamente lo estoy jugando en este
momento).

 He works in an office. (Él trabaja en una oficina)

(Se refiere al trabajo que desarrolla una persona frecuentemente).

 They travel to Madrid. (Ellos viajan a Madrid).

(Habla de un viaje que se repite a diario, aunque el sujeto no lo esté realizando ahora).

Verdades generales:
En este aspecto nos referimos a cosas que siempre ocurren; también podríamos llamar este uso verdades
científicas.
Examples:

 The moon rotates around de Earth. (La luna rota alrededor de la tierra)
 Human beings need oxygen to live. (Los seres humanos necesitan oxígeno para vivir)

Estados permanentes:
En este ítem aludimos a estados o acciones que no varían y que no son rutinas, regularmente donde vivimos,
trabajamos o estudiamos.

 I live in an old house. (Vivo en una casa vieja)

 My sister works for an international company. (Mi hermana trabaja para una compañía internacional)

Present Simple Uses:

 Present simple – positive/affirmative form

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxOQr9N0J0c

 We use the base form of the verb. In the 3rd person singular (he, she, it
- or a name) we add an –s to the end of the infinitive.
 In the 3 person Verbs ending in consonant + y change y to i+es
rd

(cry-cries, fly-flies, carry-carries)

CAREFUL!!!!! The -es suffix is used when the verb ends in the letters o, ss,
sh, ch, x or z.

Observe que en el modo afirmativo, en la 3º persona del singular, se le añade una “S” al
verbo.
Ejemplos:

 He eats vegetables. Él come vegetales.

 Alice dances at the theatre. Alice baila en el teatro.
 The dog breaks the fence. El perro rompe la cerca

Existen algunos casos particulares como por ejemplo, si el verbo empleado termina en “SS”, “SH”, “CH”,
“O” y “X” al formar la 3º persona del singular en la forma afirmativa se le agrega “ES”.

Ejemplos: Si el verbo es FISH (pescar), se conjugará: He fishes at the sea. Él pesca en el mar.
Si el verbo es KISS (besar), se conjugará: She kisses to her boyfriend. Ella besa a su novio.
Si el verbo es WATCH (observar), se conjugará: He watches the mountain. Él observa la montaña.
Si el verbo es FIX (arreglar), se conjugará: He fixes his car. Él arregla su coche.
Si el verbo es GO (ir), se conjugará: She goes to the office. Ella va a la oficina.

Otra excepción se presenta si el verbo termina en “Y” tras consonante. Para formar la 3º persona del
singular se sustituye esta “Y” por una “i” acompañada de la terminación “ES”.

Ejjemplo:

 Si el verbo es STUDY (estudiar) se conjugará: She studies the lesson. Ella estudia la lección.

Estas reglas no aplican al verbo irregular HAVE (Tener) que para la 3ª persona del singular es HAS.
Ejemplo: She has a brother.
Michael has a car.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZlxC9SKm0g

Ni para el verbo TO BE (Ser o estar) cuya forma para la 3ª persona del singular es IS
Ejemplo: He is my uncle
The dog is really big.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1g3SDHSaI

Frequency Adverbs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXn9CzCFev4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAHD0rqlj8I

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

These are called adverbs of frequency and include:

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence

100% always I always go to bed before 11 p.m.
90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.
80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.
70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.
50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife's birthday.
30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.
10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper.
5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.
0% never I never swim in the sea.
  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. + complement
I always remember to do my homework.
He normally gets good marks in exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVdJ226KgnU

Subject + to be + adverb + complement

They Are never pleased to see me.
She isn't usually bad tempered.

We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence:

Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally

 Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.

 Normally, I go swimming in the mornings.

We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:
 She hardly ever comes to my parties.
 They never say 'thank you'.

Los adverbios de frecuencia son las palabras que nos indican qué tan a menudo se realiza una
acción.
Por ejemplo, en la siguiente frase, la palabra always / siempre nos está diciendo cuándo Manuel va al
parque:
 Manuel always goes to the park.
Manuel siempre va al parque.

Los adverbios de frecuencia se pueden ubicar al inicio o final de la oración y antes o después del verbo principal
de la oración, todo depende del adverbio y la intención que tenga en la frase.

Si el adverbio está conjugado con el verbo to be, debes ubicarlo luego de éste.
 You are always smiling.
Tú siempre estás sonriendo.

Con otros verbos, el adverbio suele ubicarse antes del verbo.

 We always go to buy fruits.
Nosotros siempre vamos a comprar frutas.

Puedes ubicar adverbios como frequently, usually, normally, generally al inicio o final de la oración para dar
énfasis.
 Usually, I do my homework at night.
Usualmente, yo hago mi tarea en la noche.
 I walk to work occasionally.
Camino al trabajo ocasionalmente.
