We use the Simple Present when we talk about:
a) | Things that happen
all the time or repeatedly. I always walk to work. Jan is a postman. |
b) | Facts. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. |
c) | Feelings. I think you are smart. George wants more food. Dogs like bones. |
* | Don't forget that when
you say He/She/It you need to add -s to the verb. She works. |
* | Words like never, always, and usually tell you that the sentence is probably simple present. |
* | We make questions
and negative phrases in the Present Simple like this: -Does George want more food? -No, he doesn't want more food. He wants more drink. -Does
Mary work? -Do
dogs like bones? |
