Present Simple

We use the present simple for things that are true or habits. (dingen die waar zijn of gewoonten)

Examples:

I speak English. (+)

My mother cooks fantastic food. (+)

He doesn’t play the guitar. (-)

I have tea every morning. (+)

Present simple (-)

How do you make a sentence negative? (negatief)

There are two ways:

• Do not = Don’t (Niet)

• Does not = Doesn’t (Niet)

• 
  

When do you Don’t

vs Doesn't?

Present simple- SHIT Rule

S.H.I.T Rule

When you use She, He, or It in the present simple you add an “s” to the verb.

• Shit-rule --> he/she/it = verb + s

Answer the questions below:

1. He __________ (go) to the gym every morning.

2. We __________ (not / drink) coffee in the evening.

Present simple (?)

Word order: To make a question in the present simple you use do (or does for she/he, it) + Infinitive

• Do /does + Subject (I, you, he, she, etc) + Infinitive (Work, live)
