When to use the Simple Present Tense:

- Repeated Actions: The Simple Present expresses the idea that an action is repeated or usual.

- Facts or Generalization: The Simple Present can express the idea that the speaker believes something to be a fact. 

- Scheduled Events in the Near Future: The Simple Present is used to talk about scheduled events in the near future, most commonly with public transportation. 

- Now: The Simple Present is used to express the idea that an action is or is not happening, but only with verbs that cannot be used in the Continuous form.

How to conjugate in the Simple Present Tense:

✅ For affirmative sentences, we add an 's' to the verb in sentences with 3rd person singular (he, she, it).

Examples:

- I live in London.

- My brother lives in Miami.

 

✅ In negative sentences, we use doesn't for 3rd person singular pronouns and don't for other verbs.

Examples:

- I don’t like chocolate.

- My mum doesn’t like chocolate.

 

✅ For questions, we use the auxiliary 'do' and 'does' (3rd person singular).

Examples:

- Do you play football?

- Does he play football?

Let’s practice!
