Learning About Present Simple Tenses

Page 1: Understanding Present Simple Tense

The Present Simple tense is used to talk about things that happen regularly or facts that are always true. In English, we often use the Present Simple tense to discuss our daily routine, hobbies, and general truths.

Affirmative Sentences

An affirmative sentence is a positive statement. For example:

• I play soccer every Saturday.

Negative Sentences

A negative sentence expresses what is not true. For example:

• I do not play soccer on Sundays.

Positive Statements

In the Present Simple, we usually add an 's' to the verb for he, she, or it. Here are some examples:

• He plays soccer.
• She reads a book every night.
• It rains in the spring.

For 'I,' 'you,' 'we,' and 'they,' we use the base form of the verb:

• I play soccer.
• They read books in the afternoon.

Examples of Important Verbs

Some common verbs we might use in the Present Simple include:

• to eat
• to go
• to like
• to sing
