​Verb 1

​Simple Present Tense uses verb 1. The mistake that many people make is not to put "s/es" in the verb 1.

​

​Sometimes we just use a normal verb 1, but sometimes we need to put s/es. Do you know the rule about when to use s/es in the verb1?

​Verb 1 + s/es

I do, she does.

​You take, he takes.

​We jump, it jumps.

​They tell, my mother tells.

​You and I run, water runs.

​The children have, he has.

​

​Observe the examples above and try to understand by yourself, when to use verb1+ s/es.

​ASSIGNMENT!

​This is your second assignment.

​Make a video to explain about "Simple Present Tense."

​My grading system will be:

​1. How good is your English?

​2. How good is your performance?

​3. How good is your video/ presentation?

​Your English...

"How good is your English" means how good you can use English to explain about Simple Present Tense.

​

​I recommend you don't use too many words that you don't understand. Try to speak at your level because it will affect the next pointer.

​Your Performance...

​"How good is your performance" means you have to speak as naturally as possible. Try to speak like a "living" person, not a "dead puppet" reading to the screen...

​

Try to remember how I usually talk to you on Zoom and that is the standard of getting high performance score.

Your video...

Yes, you must try to make a good video or presentation. Make it more interesting so I will NOT fall asleep when I watch it.

​

​This Quizizz slides is the standard of a "good presentation" although it is actually a very basic one though...

​Help... I can't make a good video... ;-;

​Don't worry, I will not help you ^^

​OK, sir!

​Stop disappointing your teacher.

​Start to get more serious, be more responsive and responsible.

​Do your assignment!

​

​Good luck.

I know that some of you are trying your best but I'm talking about your class
