The simple present tense is very important in English. We use it every day.

We use the simple present tense for habits. For example: "I drink coffee every morning." "She walks to school."

We use it for facts. For example: "The sun rises in the east." "Water boils at 100 degrees."

We use it for things that are always true. For example: "Cats like milk."

How to make the simple present tense? For most verbs, we use the base form. For he, she, it, we add -s or -es. For example: "I like pizza." "He likes pizza." "She watches TV." "It runs fast."

We often use words like always, usually, sometimes, never with the simple present tense. For example: "I always get up early." "She never eats meat."

Be careful with negatives. We use do not or does not. For example: "I do not like coffee." "She does not like tea." Short forms: don't, doesn't.

For questions, we use do or does at the start. For example: "Do you like apples?" "Does he play football?"

Practice: Make a sentence. Use these words: I, eat, rice. Answer: I eat rice. Use these words: she, drink, milk. Answer: She drinks milk.

Remember: simple present is for habits, facts, and true things. Practice every day. It is easy!
