USE 1 - Repeated Actions
Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.Examples:He plays piano.I do not play tennis.The bus leaves every morning at 9 am.The train does not leave at 9am.He always forgets her watch.They never go to school late.The Earth circles the sun.USE 2 - Facts or Generalizations
The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.Examples:Children like milk.Birds do not like milk.New York is in America.Paris is not in the United Kingdom.Windows are made of glass.Cars are not made of wood.
ACTIVE / PASSIVE Simple PresentExamplesOnce a week, Tom cleans the car. ACTIVEOnce a week, the car is cleaned by Tom. PASSIVE
-S or -ES?With most verbs, the third person singular form is created simply by adding -S. However, with some verbs, you need to add -ES or change the ending a little. Here are the rules:
Verbs end with
s Add -ES >- He passes z Add -ES -> She dozes sh Add -ES -> She wishes ch Add -ES -> He watches consonant + y Change Y to I, then add -ES -> It flies
