SIMPLE PRESENT
WHY DO WE USE THE PRESENT SIMPLE?
The Present Simple is used to express:
1. Habitual actions: I get up at 7.30 (HABIT)
2. A fact which is always true: Vegetarians don’t
eat meat.
3. A fact which is true for a long time:
I live in Cagliari, Tom works in a bank (STATE)
Structure
• SVO – I love pizza!
• SAnVO – I don’t like pizza!
• ASVO? – Do you like veggies?
She drives to work – She doesn’t drive to work.
He goes to the gym – He doesn’t go to the gym.
I have a brother – I don’t have OR
I haven’t got a brother
YES – I haven’t got any scissors (possession)
The Present Simple
Therefore, positive and negative forms:
I / You / We / They live near here.
I / You / We / They don’t live near here.
He/ She / It lives near here.
He/ She / It doesn’t live near here.
The Present Simple
Questions/ Interrogative Form:
Where do I/ you/ we /they live?
Where does she/ he /it live?
Short answers:
Do you like John? Yes, I do.
Does she speak French? No, she doesn’t.
The Present Simple
Contractions: the verb do is normally contracted
in the negative and negative interrogative:
E.g. I don’t work, he doesn’t work, don’t I work?,
doesn’t he work?
The Present Simple
EXCEPTIONS (Spelling):
1.Verbs ending in ss, ch,sh x and o add es, instead of s
alone, to form the third person singular:
I kiss, He kisses I watch,he watches I go,She goes
I finish, he finishes
2. When y follows a consonant we change the y into i
and add es: I copy, he copies
But verbs ending in y following a vowel obey the
general rule: I say, he says
