The Present Simple

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?

The Present Simple

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)!

                                    Use short forms!    

My dog likes meat.

The girls always wear the same dresses.

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 'doesn't'.

The old man always sits in his chair.

the old man always

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.

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. 

The Present Simple

Negations

So you make a negation by adding don't or doesn't to the sentence. Think about the SHIT Rule!

So not like this:

                                        I like not cookies. 

But like this:

                                       I don't like cookies 

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!

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.

                                     Use short forms!

The girls wear the same dresses.

The sun shines very brightly.

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 do or don't in that case.

I am an English teacher. 

Becomes 

I am not an English teacher.

The Present Simple

Negations

For the next exercise, turn the normal present simple sentences into negations. Pay attention to capital letters, full stops, and the SHIT Rule!

                                    Use short forms!

I am a very happy person.

My dog is almost deaf.
