LESSON 3. ROUTINES.

OBJECTIVES: Identify phrases and expressions related to Routines in short oral and written texts.
Describe people daily routines and answer questions about daily routines.

GRAMMAR EXPLANATION: Simple Present tense

Present Simple It is usually used to express routines and repeated actions in time.
Affirmative sentences
The present tense is the base form of the verb: I work in London.
But with the third person singular (she/he/it), we add an –s: She works in London. Or –es: she watches TV at night.
Negative Sentences
We use do and does to make negatives with the present simple. We use doesn't for the third person singular (she/he/it)
and don't for the others. Look at these sentences: I like tennis but I don't like football. (don't = do not). John doesn't
live in Manchester. (doesn't = does not).

Affirmative Negative
I wake up early every day. I don’t wake up late.
You go to school by bus You don’t go to school by taxi
He wakes up early every day He doesn’t wake up late
She goes to school by bus She doesn’t go to school by taxi.
I play the guitar. I don't play the piano
They work five days of the week They don't work at the weekend.
She goes to work by bus Angela doesn't drive to work

Interrogative sentences
-We use do and does to make questions with the present simple. We use does for the third person singular (she/he/it)
and do for the others. Example: Do you play the piano?, Does Jack play football?
-We use do and does with question words like where, what and when: Where do you live? Where does he come from?
Where do they work? Where do Angela and Rita live? What does Angela do? When does Rita usually get up?
-But questions with who often don't use do or does: Who lives in London? Who plays football at the weekend? Who works at
City Hospital?

FAMOUS PEOPLE ROUTINE

 TELLING THE TIME
Objectives: Asking and telling the time. Practice present simple questions and Wh-questions

GRAMMAR EXPLANATION

There are two common ways of telling the time.

1) Say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour + Minutes)
6:25 - It's six twenty-five 8:05 - It's eight O-five (the O is said like the letter O)
9:11 - It's nine eleven 2:34 - It's two thirty-four

2) Say the minutes first and then the hour. (Minutes + PAST / TO + Hour)
For minutes 1-30 we use PAST after the minutes.
For minutes 31-59 we use TO after the minutes.
2:35 - It's twenty-five to three 11:20 - It's twenty past eleven
4:18 - It's eighteen past four 8:51 - It's nine to nine
2:59 - It's one to three

When it is 15 minutes past the hour we normally say: (a) quarter past 7:15 - It's (a) quarter past seven
When it is 15 minutes before the hour we normally say: a quarter to 12:45 - It's (a) quarter to one
When it is 30 minutes past the hour we normally say: half past 3:30 - It's half past three (but we can also say three-thirty)
O'clock: We use o'clock when there are NO minutes.
10:00 - It's ten o'clock 5:00 - It's five o'clock 1:00 - It's one o'clock
Sometimes it is written as 9 o'clock (the number + o'clock)
For 12:00 there are four expressions in English. twelve o'clock / midday = noon / midnight
 Asking and Answering Questions about Times
The question to find out the time that specific activities happen is different from simply asking what time it is. We use the
present simple instead of the verb to be.
What time does he make breakfast? He makes breakfast at 9.45 a.m.
What time does she study? She studies at 6.15 a.m
