Introduction to Present Simple
Present simple is a basic tense in English grammar.
It is used to talk about habits, routines, and general facts.
The present simple is formed by using the base form of the verb.
Structure of Present Simple
In the present simple, we use the base form of the verb for all subjects.
For third-person singular subjects (he, she, it), we add -s or -es to the verb.
Negative sentences are formed by adding "do not" or "does not" before the base form of the verb.
Examples of Present Simple - Habits

Examples of Present Simple - General Facts

Present Simple - Time Expressions
Present simple often uses time expressions like "always," "usually," "often."
These time expressions add frequency to the action or state being described.
For example, "I always drink coffee in the morning."
Present Simple - Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of frequency, such as "always," "usually," "often," "sometimes," "rarely," "never," are commonly used with present simple.
They describe how often an action or state happens.
For example, "She rarely goes to the movies."
Present Simple - Questions
Questions in the present simple are formed by using the auxiliary verb "do" or "does" before the subject, followed by the base form of the verb.
For example, "Do you like ice cream?" or "Does she speak Spanish?"
