The Present Simple
What is the present simple?

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

How many verbs do you see in this normal present simple sentence? 
Why do you think it is called 'simple'?

Slide 5 - Open vraag

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.

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 10 - Tekstslide

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)!

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 'does'.

Slide 19 - Poll

The Present Simple
Negations

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 20 - Tekstslide

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. 


Slide 21 - Tekstslide

The Present Simple
Negations

So you make a negation by adding don't or doesn't to the sentence. But don't forget about the SHIT-rule!
So not like this:
                                     I like not cookies.
                                       He don't likes cookies
But like this:
                                       I don't like cookies 
                                    He doesn't like cookies

Slide 22 - 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 23 - 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.
                                    

Slide 24 - Tekstslide

Slide 25 - Open vraag

They give out flyers every morning.

Slide 26 - Open vraag

The sun shines very brightly.

Slide 27 - 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 doesn't or don't in that case.

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