The present simple is a fundamental tense in modern English used to express habitual actions, general truths, and scheduled future events. It is formed differently for third-person singular subjects and has specific rules for negative and interrogative forms.

• The present simple is used for habits, unchanging states, and certain future events.
• Its affirmative form is simply subject + base verb, except for third-person singular.
• Negative forms use the auxiliary 'do/does' with 'not' before the base verb.
• Interrogative forms invert the auxiliary 'do/does' with the subject.
• Frequency adverbs are commonly used with the present simple to indicate how often actions occur.

Present Simple: Negative and Interrogative Forms

This page delves into the formation of negative and interrogative sentences in the present simple tense, as well as how to construct short answers.

Negative Form

The negative form of the present simple uses the auxiliary verb "do" (or "does" for third-person singular) followed by "not" and the base form of the main verb.

Example: I do not work, He does not work

Highlight: Contracted forms are common in spoken English and informal writing: don't, doesn't.

Interrogative Form

To form questions in the present simple, the auxiliary "do/does" is placed before the subject, followed by the base form of the main verb.

Example: Do I work? Does he work?

Short Answers

Short answers in the present simple use the auxiliary verb without repeating the main verb.

Positive: Yes, subject + do/does Negative: No, subject + do/does + not

Example: Question: Do you work? Positive answer: Yes, I do. Negative answer: No, I don't.

Vocabulary: Auxiliary verb - A helping verb used to form tenses, questions, and negative sentences.

Present Simple with Frequency Adverbs

This page explains how frequency adverbs are used with the present simple tense to indicate how often an action occurs.

Definition: Frequency adverbs are words that describe how often an action takes place.

In affirmative sentences, frequency adverbs are typically placed between the subject and the main verb.

Example: I always go to Rome.

The most common frequency adverbs, in order from most to least frequent, are:

Always (100%)
Usually (80-99%)
Often (60-79%)
Sometimes (40-59%)
Hardly ever (10-39%)
Never (0%)

Highlight: With the verb "to be," frequency adverbs come after the verb.

Example: She is always late.

Using frequency adverbs with the present simple helps to create more precise and informative sentences about habitual actions or general truths.

Example: They sometimes eat out on weekends.

Vocabulary: Frequency - The rate at which something occurs over a particular period of time or in a given sample.

Present Simple: Formation and Usage

The present simple is a crucial tense in English grammar, used to express regular actions, general truths, and scheduled future events. This page introduces the concept and its primary uses.

Definition: The present simple is a verb tense used to describe habitual actions, unchanging states, and certain future events.

The tense is called "simple" because its affirmative form consists of just the subject and the base form of the verb, for example, "I work."

Example: "I eat an apple at breakfast" (habitual action) Example: "I'm Italian" (unchanging state) Example: "I leave tomorrow at 10 a.m." (scheduled future event)

The present simple is used in various contexts:

To express habits or routines
To state general truths or facts
To give instructions or directions
To describe scheduled future events

Highlight: The third-person singular (he/she/it) forms differently, adding -s or -es to the base verb.

For verbs ending in -s, -ch, -sh, -x, -z, or -o, add -es. For verbs ending in a consonant + y, change y to i and add -es.

Example: He studies (study + ies)
