Text lesson

Explanation — Present simple (habits & facts)

💼 Why it matters at work

Every day at work you do the same things: you start your shift, you deal with your tasks, and you keep busy until five. The present simple describes these habits and facts, and your daily goals.

We use the present simple for habits, routines, facts and timetables.

1. Positive form

I / you / we / they + verb; he / she / it + verb + -s.

I work. / She works.

2. Negative & questions

Use do/does: I don’t work, she doesn’t work; Do you work?, Does he work? The main verb has no -s in questions/negatives.

3. Spelling of -s

go → goes, watch → watches, study → studies, have → has.

⚠️ Watch out

  • Remember the -s for he/she/it: she works.
  • No -s after do/does: Does she work? (not works).
