Present Simple

We use the present simple to:

• Talk about habits or things we do regularly. For example: I always get up at 7.00. The children visit their cousins on the weekends.

• Talk about facts or things that are always true. Example: The bank never opens on Sundays. The Earth goes round the Sun.

- Affirmative - with SHE, HE and IT

• Most verbs add -S at the end. Example: looks, drives, etc.

• Verbs that finish in: o, sh, ch, x, ss, add -ES at the end. Examples: GO > GOES, FIX > FIXES, WATCH > WATCHES

• Verbs that finish in consonant and Y, erase the Y and add -IES. For example: STUDY > STUDIES

• I, You, We, They > DON'T
