Present Simple
Hi, my name is Pepe
 Introduction
Simple present tense is a grammatical tense that is used to talk about daily
activities and habits in general. It usually refers to our daily routine; things
that we regularly do in our life.
How do we make the Present Simple
tense? There are two basic
structures for the
Present Simple:

Negative &
questionds
Positive Sentences
—EXAMPLES
Notice that…

For positive sentences

• There is no auxiliary verb.
• We conjugate the main verb by
adding s to the third person
singular.
 Add S or es? verbs in the third
person singular take
either ‘-s’ or ‘-es’.
There are 3 specific cases that we have to remember

01
Verbs ending in -SS , -SH , -X , -CH ,
-O take -es ,

Wash -- she washes Example. Verbs like: speak, write,

like, listen, swim, talk, walk ….
With verbs ending in ‘y’ preceded by
a consonant, we change ‘y’ into ‘i’
and we add ‘es’
02 BECOME [ speaks, writes, likes,
listens, swims, talks, walks…. ]

Fly- Flies

 COMPARATIVES
● We use comparative adjectives to show change or
make comparisons:
This car is certainly better, but it's much more expensive.

● We use than when we want to compare one thing

with another:
She is two years older than me.

● When we want to describe how something or

someone changes we can use two comparatives with
and:
The balloon got bigger and bigger.
ALSO..
We often use “the” with comparative adjectives
to show that one thing depends on another:
The faster you drive, the more dangerous it is.
(= When you drive faster, it is more dangerous.)
