Simple Present Tense.

E. Discussion

Simple Present Tense – is a verb tense

used to talk about habitual action,
present or unchanging situation, general
truth or facts and future action.

We can use both action verb and linking

verb in simple present tense.

It is very important that the subject

agrees with the verb. If the subject is
singular, the verb should be singular also,
with “s” or “es”. If the subject is plural, the
verb should be plural also, without “s” or
“es”.

Let us learn the four uses of Simple

Present Tense.

1. Simple present tense that describes

habitual action – refers to the things
we do repeatedly or regularly. It
usually includes a time expression like
"always," "every year," "never,"
"often," "on Mondays," "rarely,"
"sometimes," or "usually."

Examples:

- Sanny usually eats breakfast at

7:00 o’clock in the morning. Yes Sir.
- Mark exercises every morning.
So that we will become healthy.
Do you exercise?

Why do we need to exercise?

Very good!

2. Simple present tense that describes

present or unchanging situation – we
use verb to express thing that is
happening right now.

Examples:
He wants a new bag.
- She understands English.
- They are very noisy.

He (want, wants) a new bag.

3. Simple present tense that describes

general truth or facts – we use verb to
express truth or fact information about
the subject.

Examples: Five times three equals fifteen.

fifteen.
