Lesson content
Read, practise, then check your understanding
The simple present uses the base form, adding -s/-es for third-person singular. It describes habits, stable states, general truths, instructions, and schedules. Most questions and negatives use do/does plus the base verb; be forms do not use do-support.
Patterns and examples
- She teaches English on Mondays.
- Water boils at 100°C at sea level.
- Does he work here? He does not work here.
Notice how form and meaning work together. Read examples aloud, identify the controlling word or clause, and compare them with nearby alternatives before applying the pattern in new writing.
