The simple present tense in English is used to describe an action that is regular, true or

normal. We use the present tense:

1. For repeated or regular actions in the present time period.

• I take the train to the office.

• The train to Berlin leaves every hour.

• John sleeps eight hours every night during the week.

2. For facts.

• The President of The USA lives in The White House.

• A dog has four legs.

• We come from Switzerland.

3. For habits.

• I get up early every day.

• Carol brushes her teeth twice a day.

• They travel to their country house every weekend.

4.For things that are always / generally true

• It rains a lot in winter.

• The Queen of England lives in Buckingham Palace.

• They speak English at work.

Verb Conjugation & Spelling

We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).

In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they speak / learn Complement

he / she / it speaks / learns Complement

The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb: 1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

• go – goes • catch – catches • wash – washes • kiss – kisses • fix – fixes • buzz – buzzes

3

2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES. • marry – marries • study – studies • carry – carries • worry – worries

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S. • play – plays • enjoy – enjoys • say – says

Negative Sentences in the Simple Present Tense

To make a negative sentence in English we use don't or doesn't

We use don't when the subject is I, you, we or they.

When the subject is he, she or it, we add doesn't.

Subject don't/doesn't Verb* The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they don't

have / buy

eat / like etc.

cereal for breakfast

he / she / it doesn't

Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

• You don't speak Arabic.

• John doesn't speak Italian.

• We don't have time for a rest.

• It doesn't move.

• They don't want to go to the party.

• She doesn't like fish.

Questions in the Simple Present Tense

To make a question in English we normally use Do or Does. The following is the word order to

construct a basic question in English using Do or Does.

Do/Does Subject Verb* The Rest of the sentence

Do I / you / we / they

have / need

want etc.

a new bike?

Does he / she / it

*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before

the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.

4

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO.

For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.

Examples of Questions with Do and Does:

• Do you need a dictionary?

• Does Mary need a dictionary?

• Do we have a meeting now?

• Does it rain a lot in winter?

• Do they want to go to the party?

• Does he like pizza?

Short Answers with Do and Does

8

E) Look at the picture and write the correct preposition of place.

Possessive 's

When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we

usually add an apostrophe + s ('s) to a singular noun and an apostrophe (') to a plural

noun, for example:

the boy's ball (one boy) the boys' ball (two or more boys)

Notice that the number of balls does not matter. The structure is influenced by the possessor and not the possessed.

one ball more than one ball

one boy

the boy's ball

the boy's balls

more than one boy

the boys' ball

the boys' balls

The structure can be used for a whole phrase: the man next door's mother (the mother of the man next door) the Queen of England's poodles (the poodles of the Queen of England)

9

Although we can use of to show possession, it is more usual to use possessive 's. The

following phrases have the same meaning, but #2 is more usual and natural:

1. the boyfriend of my sister 2. my sister's boyfriend

Proper Nouns (Names)

We very often use possessive 's with names: This is Mary's car. Where is Ram's telephone? Who took Anthony's pen? I like Tara's hair.

When a name ends in s, we usually treat it like any other singular noun, and add 's:

This is Charles's chair.

But it is possible (especially with older, classical names) to just add the apostrophe ': Who was Jesus' father?

Irregular Plurals

Some nouns have irregular plural forms without s (man → men). To show possession, we usually add 's to the plural form of these nouns:

singular noun plural noun

my child's dog my children's dog

the man's work the men's work

the mouse's cage the mice's cage

a person's clothes people's clothes

F) Answer the exercises. 1. Which sentence is correct? That’s Bob’s car. That’s Bobs car. That’s Bobs’ car. 2. Which sentence is correct? Are you going to Dan and Suzie’s party? Are you going to Dan’s and Suzie’s party? Are you going to Dan and Suzies’ party?

10

3. Which word goes in the space? Can you look after the ___ rabbit while we are on holiday? childrens’s childrens’ children’s 4. Complete the sentence. That’s not my bag. It’s my ___ brothers’s brothers brother’s PRESENT CONTINUOUS

The present continuous tense is formed from the present tense of the verb be and the present participle (-ing form) of a verb:

1. We use the present continuous tense to talk about the present:

For something that is happening at the moment of speaking:

I’m just leaving work. I’ll be home in an hour.

Please be quiet. The children are sleeping.

Negative

I am not writing an e-mail.

He isn´t playing soccer right now.

They aren´t doing their project.

Interrogative

How are you? How is London? I am having a very good time in New York. It’s Sunday and it’s sunny and warm. Now it’s ten in the morning and we are in Central Park. I am sitting under a tree, I am listening to my radio… and I am writing to you, of course.

My Canadian cousin Rosemary is here with us, she is reading a comic. She’s very pretty. She’s tall and slim and she has got long wavy brown hair. Her parents are in Toronto.

My father is reading The New York Times, an American newspaper. My mother is playing with my little brother Jimmy on the grass and they are eating popcorn. There are many people in the park. Some men are jogging, two girls are walking their dogs, and an old man is skating! And he can do that quiet well.

We often come to this fantastic park, in this wonderful city because we are relaxing here. But sometimes we visit other interesting places: museums, shops, galleries, etc…

New York is great! There are many fantastic

skyscrapers, great shops and there are people everywhere! Love, Sarah
