What is the Present Simple Tense?

The present simple tense is a way to talk about things that happen regularly or are true now. We use it to describe habits, routines, and facts.

How to Form the Present Simple

1. **For most verbs:** Just use the base form of the verb. For example, play, eat, and run.

• I play soccer.
• They eat breakfast.
• We run every day.

2. **For he, she, or it:** Add an -s or -es to the verb. For example:

• He plays soccer.
• She eats breakfast.
• It runs fast.

When Do We Use the Present Simple?

1. Habits: Things we do regularly.
• I brush my teeth twice a day.
2. Facts: Things that are always true.
• The sun rises in the east.
3. Timetables: Things that are scheduled.
• School starts at 9 AM.

Important Points to Remember

- Use do or does for questions:

• Do you like ice cream?
• Does she play the piano?

- Use don't (do not) or doesn't (does not) for negatives:

• I don't like broccoli.
• He doesn't play football.
