Transcript Slide 1

SIMPLE PRESENT
Simple present expresses ROUTINE,
frequency that you do the things.
 If you want to say that EVERYDAY “you go
to school at 7 am”, you can say:

I GO TO SCHOOL AT 7 AM EVERYDAY.

But if you want to say that your mother
wake up at 6 am, you say that:
SHE WAKES UP AT 6 AM EVERYDAY.

So when you have SHE, HE, IT the verb on
the sentences is different than when you
use with I, YOU, WE, THEY. Look:
