Structure
1. Affirmative Sentences: Subject + verb.
Examples:
I talk. (I talk.)
He eats. (He eats.)
They learn. (They learn.)
2. Negative Sentences:
Examples: Subject + auxiliary verb (to do) +
I do not [don't] talk. (I do not talk.) negative auxiliary ("not") + verb.
He does not [doesn't] eat. (He does not eat.)
They do not [don't] learn. They do not [don't] learn.
Note: In negative sentences, the auxiliary verb ("to do") changes and the main verb goes in the
infinitive.
Uses
1. The present simple is used to talk about things that happen regularly. Unlike Spanish, the present
simple is not used to talk about something that is happening at the moment we are speaking.
The present simple tense is often used with adverbs of time:
always (always), every day (every day), usually (normally), often (often), sometimes (sometimes), rarely
(rarely), hardly ever (almost never), never (never)...
Examples:
I always talk to my mother on Sunday. I always talk to my mother on Sunday.
He never eats vegetables. He never eats vegetables.
They usually learn something new in class. They usually learn something new in class.
Exception: Adverbs of time go before the verb, except for the verb " to be" (ser/estar). When "to be"
is used, the verb goes before the adverb.
Examples:
I am always happy. (I am always happy.)
He is often sick. (He is often sick.)
They are rarely late. (They are rarely late.)
