TN2B02 Present Simple other verbs affirmative (LGPelem)
 
REFERENCE
    We use the present simple:
  • to talk about something that is always or usually true:
    I live here.  Children ask a lot of questions.
  • to talk about things that happen regularly:
    She often phones me.  They play football every day.
  • We often use adverbs of frequency (e.g. always, usually, often, sometimes, never) and other time expressions (e.g. everyday, in the morning) with the present simple. The adverbs come before the verb. Every day, in the morning, etc. come at the beginning or end of the sentence:
    She always phones me.  They play football every day.
  • In affirmative sentences, we add —s or —es in the third person singular (he, she, it):
    I live — he lives    we watch — she watches   they fly — it flies
  I / you / we / they he / she / it
Affirmative live
play
watch
