THE PRESENT SIMPLE

A Closer Look 2
Grammar

Remember rule #1:

We use the present simple to talk about actions or events that often happen, or are fixed.

We usually go to school by bus.

I don't like school lunch very much.

For example...

E.g. We learn English together.

I/We/You/They + V (infinitive)

(+) Affirmative Form

He/She/It + V(s/es)

E.g. She comes from Vietnam.
He brushes his teeth.

E.g. I don't like Pepsi.

I/We/You/They + do not (don't) + V

Negative Form (-)

He/She/It + does not (doesn't) + V

E.g. It doesn't go "meow, meow".
