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.

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 8 - Tekstslide

Slide 11 - Sleepvraag

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 12 - 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)!

Slide 14 - Open vraag

Slide 18 - Open vraag

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'.

The Present Simple
Negations/Negatives

Now you know how to make a normal present simple sentence and questions in the present simple.

Now we are going to look at negations.


Slide 26 - Tekstslide

The Present Simple
Negations/Negatives

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. 


Slide 27 - Tekstslide

The Present Simple
Negations/Negatives

So you make a negation by adding don't or doesn't to the sentence. Think about the SHIT Rule!
So not like this:
                                        I like not cookies. 

But like this:
                                       I don't like cookies 


Slide 28 - Tekstslide

The Present Simple
Negations/Negatives

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 29 - Tekstslide

The Present Simple




Negations/Negatives

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!
