The Present Simple

What is the present simple?

Now you know what the present simple looks like. But when do you use it?

We use the present simple when we talk about:

- Facts

The leopard runs very fast.

- Routines

Harry plays football every Wednesday. 

The Present Simple

What is the present simple?

In a sentence, you know if it is a fact or routine by looking at signal words. 

Words like everyday, never, always, every Wednesday  tell you it is about a routine. It happens often.

If there are no signal words, the sentence tells you a fact.

Look at the words below. Which ones are signal words for the Present Simple and which ones are not?

Signal word

Not a signal word

Next Friday

Yesterday

Never

Wednesday

Often

Every week

The Present Simple

The SHIT Rule

The SHIT Rule has to do with She, He, and IT.

The rule is:

If the subject is a he, she or it, the verb gets +s.

So I dance becomes She dances.

Timmy

every Saturday.

They never

with oil.

That tree

very fast.

I always

chocolate ice cream.

Those boys

in class very often.

cook

grows

dances

shout

choose

chooses

shouts

grow

The Present Simple

Questions

To make a present simple question, you have to put the verb do in front of the sentence:

 I like ice cream.     becomes      Do I like ice cream?

If the subject is a he, she or it, you have to use does. Also, look at what happens with the +s of the original verb.

Bob plays football.   becomes   Does Bob play football?

The Present Simple

Questions

For the next exercise, turn the normal present simple sentence into a question. Think about capital letters, questions marks and the SHIT Rule (do/does)!

                                    Use short forms!    

She never goes to parties.

The King of England plays golf every evening.

The old man always sits in his chair.

the old man always

in his chair?

Turn the normal present simple sentence into a question

Do

Does

Is

sits

sit

sitting

Did

The Present Simple

Negations

Negations tell you that something is not happening. 

You can see the word not in negations, but almost always as a short form n't, as in don't or doesn't.

An example of a negation is:

                             She doesn't see very well. 

The Present Simple

Negations

So you make a negation by adding don't or doesn't to the sentence. Think about the SHIT Rule!

                                     I like cookies

                                     He likes cookies

 negative:

                                       I don't like cookies 

                                       He doesn't like cookies

The Present Simple

Negations

Look at what happens to the verb in this sentence when we turn it into a negation:

                                 He plays video games every day.

                        He doesn't play video games every day.

The +s disappears after doesn't. The same happened with the questions!

The Present Simple

Negations

In the next exercise, try to turn the normal present simple into a negation. Pay attention to capital letters, full stops and the SHIT Rule.

                                     Use short forms!

The girls wear the same dresses.

The boy always cleans his plate after eating.

I am a very happy person.
