Simple present tense

The simple present (also called present simple or present indefinite) is a verb tense
which is used to show repetition, habit or generalization. Use the simple present to
express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a
hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also
be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

Examples:

• I play tennis.
• She does not play tennis.
• Does he play tennis?
• The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
• The train does not leave at 9 AM.
• When does the train usually leave?
• She always forgets her purse.
• He never forgets his wallet.
• Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun.
• Does the Sun circle the Earth?

Quantifiers

Any word that denotes or indicates quantity is known as a "quantifier". Both “how
much” and “how many” are used to ask for quantities.

Countables (how many): A countable noun is anything that can be counted in

separate units: buildings, cars, dots, bottles, pencils, children, etc. Example: How
many cars are there in your garage?

Uncountables (how much): Uncountable nouns are those that we cannot count in
individual units: water, air, light, snow, rain, iron, etc. Example: How much water is
there in that glass
Likes and Dislikes

When we speak of Like and Dislike, we refer to what we like or dislike, be it a thing
or an action. For example:

I like the animals. I like animals.

I dislike the onion. I dislike onion.

When you want to indicate that you like an action or not, the verb of the action is
accompanied by the ending "-ing", like this:

She likes dancing to salsa. She likes to dance salsa.

You dislike listening to music. You don't like listening to music.

What is the relation of likes and dislikes with countables and uncountables?
Countables and uncountables tell you about quantities while likes and dislikes are
about what you like and dislike. The relationship is in the question of “how much” do
you like something or “how many” times do you like something. For example:
How much do you like to walk every day? I like to walk two hours every day.
How many apples do you like to eat in one week? I like to eat eight apples in a week.
