Present Simple Quiz

How do we use the Present Simple Tense?

We use the Present Simple to talk about:

general time (action verbs)
situations now (stative verbs)
general time and situations now (verb be)

Present Simple for general time

We use the Present Simple tense when:

the action is general
the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future
the action is not only happening now
the statement is always true

John drives a taxi.
past	present	future

It is John's job to drive a taxi. He does it every day. Past, present and future.

Look at these examples:

I live in New York.
The Moon goes round the Earth.
John drives a taxi.
He does not drive a bus.
We meet every Thursday.
We do not work at night.
Do you play football?

Present Simple for now

For stative verbs, we can use the Present Simple to talk aboutnow. Stative verbs do not describe action. They describe state, and are verbs such as: like, sound, belong to, need, seem. We can use these verbs with the Present Simple tense to talk about about a situation at the present time, not general.

I want a coffee. That sounds interesting. Do you need some help?
past	present	future

	The situation is now.

Present Simple for general time and now

The verb be is always special. It is a stative verb, and we use it in the Present Simple tense to talk about now situations and aboutgeneral situations. Look at these examples of the verb be in the Present Simple tense - some are general and some are now:

I am not fat. Why are you so beautiful? Ram is tall.
past	present	future

The situation is general. Past, present and future.

Am I right? Tara is not at home. We are hungry.
past	present	future

	The situation is now.

How do we make the Present Simple Tense?

There are two basic structures for the Present Simple tense:

1. Positive sentences

subject	+	main verb
		Present Simple

2. Negative and question sentences

subject	+	auxiliary do	+	main verb
		conjugated in Present Simple
		do, does		base

Look at these examples with the main verb like:

	subject	auxiliary verb		main verb
+	I, you, we, they			like	coffee.
+	He, she, it			likes	coffee.
-	I, you, we, they	do	not	like	coffee.
-	He, she, it	does	not	like	coffee.
?	Do	I, you, we, they		like	coffee?
?	Does	he, she, it		like	coffee?

From the above table, notice the following points...

For positive sentences:

There is no auxiliary verb.
We conjugate the main verb by adding s to the third person singular.

For negative and question sentences:

The auxiliary verb (do) is conjugated in the Present Simple:do, does
The main verb is invariable in base form: base
For negative sentences, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.
For question sentences, we exchange the subject and the auxiliary verb.

Emphatic do
Normally, for positive sentences we do not use the auxiliary verbdo. But if we want to emphasize (stress) something, we may use it. For example, instead of saying "I like your dress", we could say "I do like your dress", just to show how much we like it. Here are some more examples:

I do wish you'd stop.
I do apologize.
You do look smart today.

Present Simple with main verb be

The structure of the Present Simple with the main verb be is:

subject	+	main verb be
		conjugated in Present Simple
		am, are, is

Look at these examples with the main verb be:

	subject	main verb be
+	I	am		French.
	You, we, they	are		French.
	He, she, it	is		French.
-	I	am	not	old.
	You, we, they	are	not	old.
	He, she, it	is	not	old.
?	Am	I		late?
	Are	you, we, they		late?
	Is	he, she, it		late?

From the above table, notice the following points...

There is no auxiliary verb, even for questions and negatives.
The main verb (be) is conjugated in the Present Simple: am, are, is
For negative sentences, we insert not after the main verb.
For question sentences, we exchange the subject and the main verb.

Pronunciation

Welcome to the Pronunciation section of EnglishClub, where you'll find lessons and resources on the way we pronounce or say words in English, many with audio so you can listen.

What is Pronunciation?Pronunciation refers to the way in which we make the sound of words...

Pronunciation Terms Glossary of words and expressions used when talking about pronunciation

English is not Phonetic

Always remember that English is not "phonetic". That means that we do not always say a word the same way that we spell it.

Interactive Phonemic Chart

Pronouncing the Alphabet

Listen to how we say the letters of the alphabet; and learn how to pronounce them correctly.

Word Stress

The secret key to English pronunciation! Many languages don't use word stress but English does, and so must you! With Quiz

Sentence Stress

Like word stress, sentence stress is a fundamental part of the English language. Your English pronunciation will improve immediately if you start using sentence stress!

Linking

Linking is important in English. When we say a sentence, we join or "link" many of the words.

Homophones

Homophones are words that have exactly the same sound (pronunciation) but different meanings and (usually) spelling. For example: hour/our or to/too/two

Minimal Pairs

Words that vary by a single sound, for example cat/cut, or fly/fry

English Phonetic Spelling

When speaking on the telephone, it is sometimes useful to spell a word using English Phonetic Spelling.

Contractions Pronunciation

How to Pronounce -ed

How do we pronounce the -ed in words like worked, played, divided? Learn to pronounce -ed here.

When to Say a or an
How do we know when to use the indefinite article a or an?

What is it?

What is Catherine Fanshawe talking about in this strange poem? And why is this riddle in the EnglishClub pronunciation section?

English Tongue-Twisters

Tongue-twisters are phrases that "twist your tongue". These English tongue-twisters are very difficult to say, even for native English speakers!

1. Do you chocolate milk?
2. He not want to go to the movies.
3. He now.
4. It a beautiful day today.
5. Sorry, Lisa not here at the moment.
6. They're not here. They right now.
7. Robert not go to my school.
8. My parents in a two-bedroom apartment.
9. We European.
10. You so happy today!
