Part 1 

Present Simple

The present Simple

When and why should we use the Present Simple?

The present simple is used for a gewoonte (routine) or a fact (habits) or if something is (not) regularly.
In the regular case we mostly see these type of words:
 usually, often, always, never, sometimes 

Example : I always go to school by bike.

How does it work?

I, you, we -> infinitive (hele werkwoord)

He , she and It -> The infinitive +s (es) --> SHIT

! IMPORTANT

SHIT RULE

if you see HE / SHE / OR IT
YOU ALWAYS NEED TO GET AN S or (es) with your verb!
Example: He tries soccer.

She makes cherry pie.

Questions Present Simple

Making questions 2.1

There are two ways to form a question in the present simple.

Rule 1: With the verb to be and auxiliary verbs like can, may and will, you place the verb at the beginning of the sentence.

Examples:

Are you our teacher miss Koolwijk?

Can you tell what is the time?

May I go to the toilet?

Making questions 2.2

Rule 2: With any other (main) verb, you add an extra verb to the beginning of the sentence: to do (do or does). The main verb changes to the infinitive.

Example:

Do you like swimming?

Does he want to play the piano?

Do they do their homework?

Negative sentences

Negative (1)

 You place to do + not after the subject.

 
You put infinitive form of the (main) verb after to do + not. 

You use do not or the short form don't with I, you, we and they. You use does not or the short form doesn't with he, she and it.

Example:
I do not create a ship.

He doesn't do his homework.

They don't listen to miss Koolwijk.

What about may can be and will?

With the verb to be and auxiliary verbs like can, may and will, you add the word not after the verb.

Note! Can + not is written as one word: cannot. Is not, are not and cannot can be shortened to isn't, aren't and can't. The short form of will not is won't.

Examples:

1. Jackson will not go to school  tomorrow. 

2. You cannot write this to mister van Geest!

3. She isn't here yet. 

Part 2

Word order

In an English sentence, words are placed in a certain order. A positive sentence usually has:
Subject (who) 
Verb (does)
Object (what)
Place (where) 
Time (when).

A sentence does not always have all the elements.

Example: Jack does his homework at school tomorrow.

In an English sentence, words are placed in a certain order. A positive sentence usually has:
Subject (who) 
Verb (does)
Object (what)
Place (where) 
Time (when).

Tip:  Remember the basic order of positive sentences by asking this: Who does what where when?

Put the following items into the correct order:

study / at my house / Jason and Jack / next week.

Extra information! (1)

Adverbials of place are added to a sentence to explain where something is taking place. In most cases, this part of the sentence is placed after the object or after the main verb.

Example: I like having PE outside.

Extra information (2)

Adverbials of time are added to a sentence to explain when something is taking place. In most cases, this part of the sentence is placed after the object or after the main verb.

Example: We will study tonight.

In most cases place comes before time.

Put the following words into the correct order:
enjoyed/ The students from 1HGL/ last night / the party
