GRAMMAR REVIEW! Present simple

The present simple tense is used to talk about:

• Habits or routines (actions that happen regularly)
Example: "She goes to the gym every morning."
• General truths or facts (things that are always true).
Example: "Water boils at 100°C."
• States (things that are true in the present, often with verbs like "be," "like," "know," "believe").
Example: "I know him."
• Instructions or directions.
Example: "You turn left at the corner."

Forming the present simple tense:

For most verbs, use the base form (e.g., "I work," "They play").
For he, she, or it, add -s or -es to the verb (e.g., "He works," "The bee buzzes").

Negative form: Add do not (don't) or does not (doesn't) before the base verb.
Example: "I don't like coffee."

Questions: Start with do or does (for he, she, or it).
Example: "Do you like pizza?"
