1. THE PRESENT SIMPLE We use the Present Simple to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual . The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, or something that often happens. Do you want to see some examples?
12. WE CAN... Use the Present Simple with time expressions such as: NOW, RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT ..., They are related to the present time. -He is in Paris at the moment -We need help right now!
13. WE CAN ALSO... Use the Present Simple to talk about facts or generalisations, things that are ALWAYS true: -California is in America. -Cats like milk. -Every 12 months, the Earth circles the Sun.
14. WE CAN ALSO... Talk about scheduled events in the near future , such as: -The party starts at 8 o'clock. -The plane leaves at 10 o'clock tonight. -When does the class begin tomorrow?
15. PRESENT SIMPLE NEGATIVE We use the Auxiliary verb DO NOT/DOES NOT : -I do not / don't play volleyball. -She does not / doesn't live in London. -We do not / don't like this TV show. See that in this case the final -s or -es of the third person singular disappears and we go back to the base form.
16. QUESTIONS... We also use the auxiliary DO / DOES to make questions in the Present Simple: - Do you live in Barcelona? - Does Sarah know we are here? -Where does he work ? - Do they like movies? In this case, observe that the final -s or -es in the third person singular disappears and we go back to the base form.
