Simple Present
Pre Intermediate
Check the sentences. Which ones are incorrect and correct?
She go to the cinemaHe live in a flat They have two childrens I don't like cats The supermarket close at 5:30 My sister doesn't study french My husband does housework My son wants a guitar My friend doesn't work on Saturday Our English lesson finish at 5 o'clock
We use the simple present to talk about
1. Things that are always true -> E.g. My best frien is form Argentina 2. Regular routines and habits -> E.g. We go for coffe once a week
Spelling rules for third person singular (he/she/it)
We usually add -s. live -> lives When a verb ends in -y we cahnge to -ies. study-> studies When a verb ends in -sh, -ch, -x, -s, we add -es finish -> finishes / Watch-> watches
LOOK!
The verb BE is irregular in the simple present. I'm a generous person You aren't late today Are they good friends? Yes, they are.
Adverbs of frequency
We put adverbs of frequency before the main verb. E.g. I ALWAYS see y friends after classes. NOT Always I see my friends... BUT we put them after the verb be. E.g. They're NEVER late. NOT They never are late
We use HOW OFTEN ...? to ask questions about how frequently actions happen. E.g. How often do you see your fiends?
Expressions of frequency
every day / week / month Once a week / month / year We usually use expressions of frequency at THE END OF SENTENCES. E.g. I meet Julia once a week. NOT I meet once a week Julia
