- 1Present Simple Affirmative The present simple is the tense used to express permanent situations or events that regularly repeat or always occur. When expressed in its affirmative form, the verb confirms something about the subject.Form
The present simple in affirmative uses the base form of the verb and it has the following structure:
Subject + verb + complement
* For the third person singular, we add -s at the end of the verb.
Example:
- You love
- He loves - 2Use Present simple, in its affirmative form, is used to confirm: 1. Completed actions that happen as we speak (commentaries); 2. Facts (things that are generally true, stated); 3. Habits/routines (something that happens repeatedly in the present); 4. Informal narrative (when telling a story).5. Instructions (orders);
6. Permanent situations (that have been happening for a while and will be happening in the future);
7. Planned future (planned events with a given exact date);
8. Promises;
9. Timetables (planned events with given exact time). - 3Example 1. Completed actions that happen as we speak - The taxi driver disappears. 2. Facts - Teachers perform an important role in society. 3. Habits/routines - I usually wake up at 6 o’clock. 4. Informal narrative - The housewife transforms into a princess.5. Instructions

- I promise to buy you a new car.
9. Timetables
- The train leaves at 5 o’clock - 4Negative form When expressed in its negative form, the verb denies something about the subject. Subject + do / does + not + verb + ...Form
To form the negative, use the auxiliary don’t (for I, you, we, they) and doesn’t (for he, she, it).
Then follow the auxiliary with the infinitive form of the verb.
For example:
- You don’t live here
- She doesn’t live here - 5Examples: - I don't like cheese. - I don't play with a ball. You don't practice yoga. He doesn’t have to commute to work. She doesn’t speak Spanish.We don't live here
You don't need a dictionary.
They don't speak Italian.

Third person verbs lose the final S in negative sentences. - 6Interrogative form When expressed in its interrogative form, the verb is used to ask something about the subject. The pronouns of the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) are followed by does, for all others do not use.Form
The interrogative form of the Simple Present is obtained with the auxiliary do or does in front of the subject.
Do / Does + Subject + verb + ... - 7Examples: - Do I watch television? - Do we read newspaper? - Do they play football? - Do you love swimming?- Do students read their lesson?
- Does he teach English?
- Does she write a letter?
- Does it rain in morning? - 8Adverbs of frequency Use. Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us how often or how frequently something happens are defined as adverbs of frequency.Adverbs of frequency are:
Always (siempre)
Usually (habitualmente)
Often (a menudo)
Sometimes (a veces)
Seldom/Rarely (rara vez)
Never (nunca) - 9Characteristics - Always use adverbs of frequency to discuss how often something happens. - Adverbs of frequency are often used to indicate routine or repeated activities, so they are often used with the present simple tense.- If a sentence has only one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. For example: María never flies. She always takes the bus.
- When a sentence contains more than one verb, place the adverb of frequency before the main verb. For example: They have often visited America.
- When using an adverb of frequency in the negative or in forming a question, place it before the main verb. For example: Do you usually get up so late?
