Hello welcome to this tutorial.

00:04.350 --> 00:09.510
Today we are going to talk about the present simple tense.

00:09.610 --> 00:12.710
Let's get started.

00:12.770 --> 00:20.660
Now we use the present simple when we talk about things in general notes that we use this tends to say

00:20.660 --> 00:31.610
that something happens all the time happens repeatedly and is true in general haven't look at the example

00:31.850 --> 00:36.480
over here Gene works as a barista.

00:36.530 --> 00:42.130
Her shift begins at 7:00 a.m. now in the first sentence.

00:42.130 --> 00:53.010
Jane works as a barista is the general truth and in the sentence Her shift begins at 7:00 a.m..

00:53.330 --> 01:03.580
It shows that this is something that happens repeatedly all the time.

01:03.860 --> 01:14.360
Now when we use the first person the verb does not change but when we use the third person she she or

01:14.450 --> 01:18.330
it's we add s to divert.

01:18.380 --> 01:21.360
Have a look at the example below.

01:21.470 --> 01:27.230
I like apples but my father likes grapes.

01:27.230 --> 01:36.780
Father is in the third person so we add s to the verb like And over here I is in the first person.

01:36.860 --> 01:50.990
So we do not change the verb like but when the verb ends in o as C edge s edge or X we add E S to the

01:50.990 --> 01:52.290
verb.

01:52.480 --> 02:03.630
For example in the sentence we have my sister watches TV in the evening and my brother does his homework.

02:05.680 --> 02:14.200
Note that we added E S to the verb that ends in o and e s to the verb that ends in C H

02:18.890 --> 02:25.940
remember this such verbs as to be and to have are irregular.

02:25.940 --> 02:46.020
Have a look at the table below I am we are you are you are he she it is they are I have we have you

02:46.020 --> 02:59.360
have you have he she it has they have note the difference between B and M have a look at the differences

02:59.430 --> 03:00.870
below.

03:00.870 --> 03:05.880
I have got a car I have a car

03:11.210 --> 03:13.340
now let's have a look at the use of.

03:13.340 --> 03:22.900
Do not end does not class verb have a look at the examples below.

03:22.970 --> 03:33.480
Let's start off with a positive sentence he gets up at six o'clock every morning the negative form of

03:33.480 --> 03:45.790
the sentence would be he does not get up at six o'clock every morning he gets up at seven and the question

03:45.790 --> 03:51.240
for does he get up at six o'clock every morning

03:55.190 --> 04:02.770
another question for him when does he get up.

04:03.090 --> 04:16.800
Now we can add time markers such as always often usually sometimes verily never everyday etc. to the

04:16.800 --> 04:28.070
press in simple tense let's have a look at the examples below I usually cook at home but my friends

04:28.670 --> 04:42.810
always eat at the local cafe Kim is always late for classes note that we place these time markers right

04:42.830 --> 04:53.960
before the verb Cook usually cook always eats always late.
