The present simple is an English tense. A normal present simple sentence looks like this:

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

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.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

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.

Slide 10 - Sleepvraag

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?


Slide 11 - Tekstslide

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!    


Slide 12 - Tekstslide

My dog likes meat.

Slide 13 - Open vraag

I never go to parties.

Slide 14 - Open vraag

the old man always

Turn the normal present simple sentence into a question
Do
Does
Is
sits
sit
sitting
Did

Slide 15 - Sleepvraag

she 
my best friend?
Do
Does
Is
Be
Am
Are
Did

Slide 16 - Sleepvraag

The Present Simple
Questions

The verb 'to be' is a special one. 
If the first verb in the sentence is am, is, or are, you switch it with the subject.

She is very beautiful.  becomes  Is she very beautiful?

'Is' switched places with the subject. In these cases, you don't use 'do' or 'doesn't'.


Slide 17 - Tekstslide

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!


Slide 18 - Tekstslide

The Present Simple
Negations

Negations tell you that something doess not happen. 
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. 


Slide 19 - Tekstslide

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!

Slide 20 - Tekstslide

They give out flyers every morning.

Slide 21 - Open vraag

The girls wear the same dresses.

Slide 22 - Open vraag

The sun shines very brightly.

Slide 23 - Open vraag

The Present Simple
Negations

Again, the verb 'to be' is special. 
If the first verb in the sentence is am, is or are, you can just add not. You don't need do or don't in that case.

I am an English teacher. 
Becomes 
I am not an English teacher.
