 WHEN TO USE
PRESENT SIMPLE?
TALKING ABOUT REGULAR ACTIONS
We use Present Simple to talk about things we do regularly.
Examples: “I play soccer every Saturday.”
“They go to school by bus every morning.”
“I eat breakfast at 7:00 AM.”
“He reads a book before bedtime.”
“She walks her dog in the park every evening.”
DESCRIBING HABITS
We use Present Simple to describe things we always do.
Examples: “She always brushes her teeth before bed.”
“They usually watch a movie on Friday nights.”
“She often visits her grandparents on Sundays.”
“He rarely eats fast food.”
“We never skip our morning exercise.”
STATING FACTS & GENERAL TRUTHS
We use Present Simple to state facts that are always true.
Examples: “Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.”
“The Earth revolves around the Sun.”
“English is widely spoken around the world.”
“The Sun rises in the east.”
“Cats are mammals.”
 HOW TO FORM
PRESENT SIMPLE?
POSITIVE FORM
To make a positive sentence, start with the subject
(I, you, we, they) and then add the base form of the verb.
For "he," "she," and "it," we add "s" or "es" to the verb.
Examples: “I play the guitar.”
“He plays the guitar.”
NEGATIVE FORM
To make a negative sentence, start with the subject,
add "do not" (don't) or "does not" (doesn't),
and then add the base form of the verb.
Examples: “I don’t like eating broccoli.”
“She doesn’t like cycling.”
QUESTION FORM
To ask a question, start with "do" or "does," then add the subject,
and finally, add the base form of the verb.
Examples: “Do you read a book every day?”
“Does she like eating sushi?”
