TALKING ABOUT REGULAR ACTIONS
We use Present Simple to talk about things we do regularly.

“I eat breakfast at 7:00 AM.”
“He reads a book before bedtime.”
“She walks her dog in the park every evening.”
DESCRIBING HABITS

“The Earth revolves around the Sun.”
“English is widely spoken around the world.”
“The Sun rises in the east.”
“Cats are mammals.”
HOW TO FORM
PRESENT SIMPLE?
POSITIVE FORM
To make a positive sentence, start with the subject
(I, you, we, they) and then add the base form of the verb.
For "he," "she," and "it," we add "s" or "es" to the verb.
Examples: “I play the guitar.”
“He plays the guitar.”
NEGATIVE FORM
To make a negative sentence, start with the subject,
add "do not" (don't) or "does not" (doesn't),
and then add the base form of the verb.
Examples: “I don’t like eating broccoli.”
“She doesn’t like cycling.”
QUESTION FORM
To ask a question, start with "do" or "does," then add the subject,
and finally, add the base form of the verb.
Examples: “Do you read a book every day?”
“Does she like eating sushi?”
