Okay..Now we're going to speak about the present simple tense..And as we said,
when we first talk about a tense, we should talk about when should we use it,
what should we use it for.As for the present simple tense, we should use it
when you speak about three things. number 1 : opinions,
number 2: habits or routines and number 3: facts. So whenever you talk about
or whenever you want to express your opinion or you would like to talk about
your habits or routine or you're going to speak about facts you should use the
present simple tense not any other tense. Okay ..Here are some examples about
the opinions. So when you talk about opinions for example you can say: I like
tea. Rehab doesn't like watching movies. okay. So these are some examples of
opinions. Some examples for sentences about routine and habits. You can say I
go to work every day.
She meets her friends every weekend.
We usually watch football on TV .So these are examples about routine and habits
Finally some examples about facts.
It's cold in winter. We need water to live. So these are
examples of facts. Okay ..So as you can see all these sentences are in the present
simple tense. Now what? Okay how should we put the verb in the present simple
tense? Should we add anything to the verb for
example? Will the verb be the same ?Okay.. so before we start this we should know
that we have two groups or two teams to make it easy for you. And here we are
talking about the "subject of the sentence" we are talking about the
subject of the sentence. As you know any sentence should start with a subject. The
subject can be... (Ahmed,Mona,Jack,James,..) or (I, you, he sh, it) okay here we are.. And
the first team if the subject of the sentence is one of these things( I/you/ we
they/ or plural noun )you just don't add anything to the verb.Just put the
verb as it is. Don't add anything .Don't change it at all .Okay..For example:
I like coffee. We study English. Ahmed and Muhammad play
football .So as you can see the verbs here are (like/study/and play) and
nothing has been added to the verbs.So we didn't say "likes" you didn't say "liked"
you didn't say "liking" you didn't say" will like". You just put" like" as it is. Okay. So
these are some examples of the present simple tense if the subject is one of
the first team, okay... Like we said: if the subject is( I/ you/ we
they/or plural). Okay. How can we put these sentences into negative?
We are still talking about this group. okay the same group so if the subject is
one of these (I/you/ we /they or plural noun), just add "don't" if you would like to
change the sentence into negative .For example: I don't like coffee. We don't study
English. Ahmed and Mohammed don't play football. So as you can see we said "don't
like", "don't study", "don't play". Easy, right? what about questions? How can you ask a
question in the present simple tense? First of all you should know that we have two
kind of questions. Yes or no questions and Wh- questions. Okay so now we
are talking about yes or no questions
For example: Do you like swimming? and the answer is: "Yes, I do" or "No,I don't."
Do you like Egyptian food? Yes, I do. No, I don't. So you should start your
question with do and the answer is do or don't. It's easy, okay? You can try some
examples yourself. You can say do you like football? Yes, I do.
No, I don't. okay Wh- questions and we mean
Wh- questions are those questions that start with (where, why how,
who ,when) okay not just do or does
so for example : Where do you live?
I live in Egypt.
When do you get up? I get up at 7 o'clock.
what do they eat for lunch?
They usually eat burgers.
easy ,okay. So now it's time for you to try your own examples. okay that was it
for the first team. what about the second team?
If the subject of the sentence is( he/she/it/ or a singular noun) like Jack James we
should add -s at the end of the verb, to make it in the present simple tense.
For example:
He lives in UAE.
She speaks English.
He plays tennis. Sometimes,
don't just add -s .when should we do this? If the verb ends with one of these
letters( s/z/ch/sh/o/x)we don't add just add -s. We add -es. for example. John
passes the exam .The phone buzzes suddenly.
He watches TV. She washes the dishes. Ahmed goes to
school.
The mechanic fixes the broken car.So,with these examples, we didn't just add -s we
we added -es because the verbs ends with these letters (s/ z/ch/sh /o/x). Now it's your
turn. Try to think of some verbs that end with
these letters and add -es to them. Sometimes ,we should add -ies if the
verb ends with (a consonant letter + y) We should change the "y" into "-ies". For
example: He studies English.
Ahmed carries a heavy bag. As you can see the verbs are "studies" and
"carries". The verb "study" "s-t-u-d-y" before the "Y "we have "D ", so we change the
"Y "into "-ies". The verb "carry" " c-a-r-r-y". It ends with "Y "and before the "Y "there is
"r" ,so change the "y" into "-ies". So that's it for the second team.So, remember if
the subject is (he/ she/ it/or a singular noun)
you can add -s/ -es/ or -ies.
Now, let's talk about negative. How can we change these sentences
into negative. Remember with the first team
we used" don't" but now we use "doesn't"
For example:
She doesn't watch TV.
She doesn't wash the dishes. Ahmed doesn't go to school. As you can see ,after
"doesn't", we just put the verb in the infinitive .By the infinitive we mean :the
verb as it is without anything at the end .We didn't say "she doesn't watches"
right? Wee said "She doesn't watch" so after "doesn't", remember to remove -s
-es or -ies . Just put the verb as it is. Okay...Yes or No questions.
For example: Does he live in Berlin? Yes, he does. No, he doesn't.
wo we started the question with "does" and answer with "does" or "doesn't". it's really
easy. Try it yourself. wh- questions
What does Aml like?
She likes reading books.
Where does she work ?She worls in a bank. So after the Wh- word,
we use "does". And remember all the verbs after "does "are also in the infinitive. so
"what does Aml like? "We didn't say "likes" Remember..! "Where does she work?"
we didn't say "where does she works" we said "work". okay Now we're going to speak
verb to be. Sometimes the verb of a sentence is not
action verb .It's not like ( play or sleep or swim or study or read )sometimes it's
verb to be. V.to.be in the present simple tense is one of these verbs(am/is/are)
so we can say "I am a teacher." you can say "I'm a teacher."
"He is a doctor". "He's a doctor". "She is my sister." "She's my sister."
In negative, just add "not". There is no need to say "don't" or :doesn't". If you have
verb to be in the sentence don't use don't or doesn't. So just to use "not"
after verb to be.
So, "I'm a teacher." "I'm not a journalist." "He's a doctor."
"He isn't a football player."
"She's my sister." "She isn't my wife."
With Yes or No questions, use(am/is/are) at the beginning of the sentence.
don't use (do or does) because you already have verb to be in the sentence.
For example:
"Are you okay?" "Yes, I am". "No,I'm not". "Is he happy?"
"Yes, he is." "No, he isn't." "Are they outside?" "Yes they are" "No they
aren't."
Wh- questions:
"How old are you?"
"I'm 25 years old."
"Where is Sarah?" "She is in the kitchen." so as you can see, we didn't use do or
does in the sentence. We just used (am/is/are) Easy, right? Now what? now we talk
about some of the key words that we can use to express the present simple tense.
We call them: "adverbs of frequency" because we use them
to talk about our habits. How often do we do something ...do we do it every day do we
always do it or do we never do it. Okay as you can see in the picture ,we have
some words and we grade them from 0% to 100% so if you do something all the time
you can use "always", then " , "usually" "often" or "often" , "frequently"," sometimes", "occasionally"
"seldom", " rarely", " never". Never means you don't do it at all .You never do it.
Some other key words that you can use .you can use "once". For example ..."once a week" "once a
month", "once a year". "From time to time" or "every now and then". Okay.. How can we use
adverbs of frequency? Where should we put them in the sentence? we have two places.
First with verb to be .For example: "He is always late." "I am always on time.
" You are never satisfied." As you can see he is always ,I am always ,you're never. we use
adverbs of frequency after verb to be so is usually, is sometimes ,is often, is
never .You didn't say usually is or sometimes is. Okay?
With other verbs. if the verb the sentence is not verb to be . It's easy!
For example :"We sometimes drink tea in the afternoon."
"My brother seldom smokes." So as you can see we put the adverb of frequency
before the verb not after it .So we said "we sometimes drink." We didn't "say we
drink sometimes" no.. no..."My brother seldom smokes". We didn't say "smokes seldom" . Good!
ok What about long time expressions? We can
use them in two places: at the end of the sentence or at the beginning of the
sentence. For example :"I meet my friend every now and then." So we write "every now
and then" at the end of the sentence.
"Once a week, I go to the shopping mall "."so once
a week" is at the beginning of the sentence. That's it !! now you know
everything about the present simple tense.
