Simple Present.

I. USES:

· 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. E.g.

I play tennis

They travel all weeks

· 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. E.g.

Cats like milk

California is in America

II. FORM

Simple present uses a verb in simple form:

PERSON	VERB IN SIMPLE FORM	COMPLEMENT
I	Run, Dance, Eat	Every day
He, she it	Runs, Dances, Eats	Every day
We, you, they	Run, Dance, Eat	Every day

1. Affirmative:

Person + verb in simple form + complement

I play tennis

She works all day

They travel all weeks

2. Negative: we use person + the auxiliary do, does + negatives + verb in simple form + complement

I don´t play tennis

She doesn´t work every day

They travel all week

PERSON	AUXILIAR	NOT	Verb S.F.	COMPLEMENT
I, you, we they	Do	Not (don´t)	Run, Dance, Eat	Every day
He, she, it	Does	Not (doesn´t)	Run, Dance, Eat	Every day

3. Question: we use Auxiliary do, does + Person + verb in simple form + complement + ?

Do I play tennis?

Does she work all day?

Do they travel all weeks?

AUXILIAR	PERSON	Verb S.F.	COMPLEMENT + ?
Do	I, you, we they	Run, Dance, Eat	Every day?
Does	He, she, it	Run, Dance, Eat	Every day?

III. RULES

· You should add an “S” when you are talking about he, she or it in affirmative sentence e.g.

She runs

He plays

· Verbs ending in “s, sh, ch, x” add a “S” at the end to form the third singular person e.g.

She fixes,

he goes

she misses

· When “Y” follows a consonant we change the “Y” into and add “ES” e.g.

She copies

she studies

he tries

· Verbs ending in “Y” following a vowel obey the usual rule e.g:

He obeys

she says
