Present Simple

This is used to talk about habits, routines or facts that are repeated in certain periods of
time.

Rules

Rule 1: In the third person, does is the auxiliary you should use; however, do is used for
the first and second person singular and plural.

Rule 2: To be is the most commonly used irregular verb in English, so we recommend you
study and learn all its forms of conjugation:

Rule 3: To use the simple present with modal verbs (can, must, may), you must keep in
mind that there are two exceptions. You should never add -s or -es to them.

Rule 4: When using the simple present in sentences of negation and interrogation, modal
verbs should never have the auxiliary do/does

The present continuous usually refers to situations or actions that are being performed at
the time.
 1. Clearly explain actions that happen
at the same time as they are
described.
2. They express with certainty events
or actions of the future.
3. Describe momentary actions or
events
4. Indicate situations that happen
frequently. In these sentences it is
necessary to add adverbs such as forever, always, constantly, among others, to
reinforce their context.

The goal of this verb tense is to link the past with the present. However, the focus is on the
outcome, that is, what has happened or what has not happened.

1. The action began in the past and continues in the present

2. The time for the implementation of the action has not ended
3. The action is constantly repeated in an indeterminate time between the past and the
present
4. The action recently concluded. For this use just.
5. The time when the action was performed is not relevant.
