Learn English grammar – Present Simple


when we talk about things we do every
day usually sometimes most days or
regularly so regular actions not actions
happening now we use present simple for
I you we and they the plural forms the
verb will be the same as the infinitive
form so no changes some examples how do
I spend my day
I don’t sleep late I get up at 8 a.m.
and make breakfast I eat breakfast every
shower something go I get dressed
shei
I brush my teeth I leave a note for Tom
I go to work I go to the gym I come home
notice the verb has no changes the
exception to this is with the verb be
and in present simple the verb changes
to these forms so that was the form for
I we you and they the plural forms but
for he she and it the third person we
need to change the verb by adding either
S or ES to the end some examples how
does Tom spend his day he wakes up he
does his hair he puts on his hat
he brushes his teeth he needs a doughnut
