The Present Simple

What is the present simple?

Now you know what the present simple looks like. But when do you use it?

We use the present simple when we talk about:

- Facts

- Routines

Harry plays football every Wednesday.

What is the present simple?

Now you know what a normal present simple sentence looks like.

Now, we are going to take a look at:

- The SHIT-Rule

- Questions

- Negations

The Present Simple

The SHIT Rule

The SHIT Rule has to do with She, He, and IT.

The rule is:

If the subject is a he, she or it, the verb gets +s.

So I dance becomes She dances.

Timmy

They never

I always

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.

That tree looks 100 years old.

The old man always sits in his chair.

the old man always

in his chair?

Turn the normal present simple sentence into a question

Do

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!

They give out flyers every morning.

The girls wear the same dresses.

Let's work!
