When do we use the Present Simple?

📅 Regular activities: She works on Monday.
💡 Facts: Water boils at 100°C.
❤️ Things that are generally true: I like my internship.
every day • usually • always • sometimes • often • never

How do we add the S?
Most verbs: work → works | live → lives | play → plays
Ends in -ch / -sh / -s / -x / -o: watch → watches • go → goes
Consonant + y: study → studies • try → tries
BUT: vowel + y: play → plays
6
TO BE is different! ⚠️
I → AM
He / She / It → IS
You / We / They → ARE
She IS a student. ✓
She WORKS at a school. ✓
Remember: IS belongs to TO BE; WORKS is a normal verb.
