1. Repeated action

2. Facts or generalization

3. Scheduled event in the near future

4. Now (non continuous verbs)

1. Repeated actions
a. Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or
usual.
b. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or
something that often happens.
c. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

2. I always wake up at 5a.m. but on Sunday I usually get up at 7a.m.

3. My brother sometimes plays basket ball when he is free.
4. I have a class on Monday at 8:00 in the morning.
5. My father does not speak English so he doesn’t understand that
seminar at all.
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.

1. Cats like milk.

2. Birds do not like milk.
3. California is in America.
4. The sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
5. Ice is cold and fire is hot.
3. Schedule Events in the near future

Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in

the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public
transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.

1. The train leaves tonight at 6 PM.

2. The bus does not arrive at 11 AM, it arrives at 11 PM.
3. When do we board the plane?
4. The party starts at 8 o'clock.
5. When does class begin tomorrow?
4. Now ( non continuous verbs)

Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action
is happening or is not happening now.

She has three children now. (V)

She is having three children now. (X)

She is expecting a baby now. (V)

It is extremely important to understand that NOT all English
verbs are the same. English verbs are divided into three
groups:

1. Normal Verbs,

2. Non-Continuous Verbs (State Verbs),

3. Mixed Verbs.
1. NORMAL VERBS
Most verbs are "Normal Verbs." These verbs are usually physical actions
which you can see somebody doing. These verbs can be used in all tenses.

to run, to go to touch
to walk, to say to write
to eat, to fly, to go, etc.

Examples:
I eat dinner every day.
I am eating dinner now.
I ate a very delicious pizza last night.
2. Non-Continuous (State Verbs)
• These verbs are usually things you cannot see somebody doing. These verbs
are rarely used in continuous tenses. They include:

1. Abstract Verbs to be, to want, to cost, to seem, to need, to care, to contain,

to owe, to exist...

2. Possession Verbs to possess, to own, to belong...

3. Emotion Verbs to like, to love, to hate, to dislike, to fear, to envy, to mind...

Examples:

He is needing help now. Not Correct

He needs help now. Correct

He is wanting a drink now. Not Correct

He wants a drink now. Correct

State verbs
State verbs express states or conditions which are relatively static. They include verbs of
perception, cognition, the senses, emotion and state of being:

Examples of state verbs

appear cost have need seem
believe doubt know owe suppose
belong exist like own suspect
consider fit love prefer understand
consist hate matter remember want
contain hear mean resemble wish

o State verbs are not normally used in continuous forms:

o I am needing a new phone. I need a new phone.
o Who is this bag belonging to? Who does this bag belong to?
o They are seeming tired. They seem tired.
3. MIXED VERBS
The third group, called "Mixed Verbs," is the smallest group. These verbs have
more than one meaning. In a way, each meaning is a unique verb. Some
meanings behave like "Non-Continuous Verbs," while other meanings behave like
"Normal Verbs.“
to have:
I have a dollar now. Non-Continuous Verb I possess a dollar.
I am having fun now. Normal Verb I am experiencing fun now.

to hear:
She hears the music. Non-Continuous Verb
She hears the music with her ears.
She is hearing voices. Normal Verb
She hears something others cannot hear. She is hearing voices in her mind.

down to do my homework. I read up to 9 am. Then I take my food and go to school.
I go to school on bus.

I reach school at 9:45 am. I attend assembly at 10:00 am. Then our regular class
starts. We have seven periods daily. I listen carefully what the teachers teach. I
return back home at 4:30 pm.

After I reach home, I take off my school uniform. I wash my hand and feet. Then I
take tiffin. I play for an hour and take rest. Then, I start to do my homework. After
