The Present Simple

What is the present simple?

In a sentence, you know if it is a fact or routine by looking at signal words. 

Words like everyday, never, always, every Wednesday  tell you it is about a routine. It happens often.

If there are no signal words, the sentence tells you a fact.

Look at the words below. Which ones are signal words for the Present Simple and which ones are not?

Signal word

Not a signal word

Next Friday

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

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!

How long __________? He seems rather intoxicated. We'd better take him home.

1. has Kyle been drinking
2. has Kyle drunk
3. is Kyle drinking
4. was Kyle drinking

We use has Kyle been drinking here because we use the present perfect continuous if an activity began in the past and is still happening now. We make a question with the present perfect continuous with have/has (here Kyle = he = has) + subject (here Kyle) + been + the verb with -ing.
