Language Focus

1. We can use the present simple to talk about routines and what normally happens in our daily lives.

I / you / we / they + base form of the verb
he / she + base form + s / es

He works on Saturday mornings.
She teaches art.

have is different.
I / you / we / they have
he / she has
He has lunch at the office.

Negative statements
I / you / we / they + don’t + base form of the verb
(don’t = do not)
he / she + doesn’t + base form of the verb
(doesn’t = does not)
I don’t cook dinner on Fridays.
He doesn’t eat breakfast.

2. We often use adverbs such as always, never, often, sometimes, and usually with the present simple to say how frequently we do things.
They come after be and before other main verbs.
