Read these examples:
Affirmative: She lives in Moscow.
Negative: We do not read the newspaper.
Interrogative: Do you eat soup?
What are the conclusions that you can take from these sentences?
- Normally, we add -s or -es to the 3rd person singular.
verbs ending with s/ sh/ ch/ z/ x/ o: add -es
consonant +Y: change Y to I, then add -es
the rest: add -s
- We must use auxilar verb "to do" to build the interrogative and the negative sentences.
When do we use Present Simple Tense?
- to refer to facts that are true: Fire is hot.
-to express feelings: She enjoys swimming. /He hates broccoli./ They like going to the cinema.
- to describe repeated actions, for instance in your daily routine: I get up at 6 o'clock.
- to describe a permanent situation: I study in Oxford.
