Hello welcome to this tutorial.
Today we are going to talk about the present simple tense.
Let's get started.
Now we use the present simple when we talk about things in general notes that we use this tends to say
that something happens all the time happens repeatedly and is true in general haven't look at the example
over here Gene works as a barista.
Her shift begins at 7:00 a.m. now in the first sentence.
Jane works as a barista is the general truth and in the sentence Her shift begins at 7:00 a.m..
It shows that this is something that happens repeatedly all the time.
Now when we use the first person the verb does not change but when we use the third person she she or
it's we add s to divert.
Have a look at the example below.
I like apples but my father likes grapes.
Father is in the third person so we add s to the verb like And over here I is in the first person.
So we do not change the verb like but when the verb ends in o as C edge s edge or X we add E S to the
verb.
For example in the sentence we have my sister watches TV in the evening and my brother does his homework.
Note that we added E S to the verb that ends in o and e s to the verb that ends in C H
remember this such verbs as to be and to have are irregular.
Have a look at the table below I am we are you are you are he she it is they are I have we have you
have you have he she it has they have note the difference between B and M have a look at the differences
below.
I have got a car I have a car
now let's have a look at the use of.
Do not end does not class verb have a look at the examples below.
Let's start off with a positive sentence he gets up at six o'clock every morning the negative form of
the sentence would be he does not get up at six o'clock every morning he gets up at seven and the question
for does he get up at six o'clock every morning
another question for him when does he get up.
Now we can add time markers such as always often usually sometimes verily never everyday etc. to the
press in simple tense let's have a look at the examples below I usually cook at home but my friends
always eat at the local cafe Kim is always late for classes note that we place these time markers right
before the verb Cook usually cook always eats always late.
