Present Simple: Routines and Facts

Use it for habits and things that are always true.

Examples

• The sun rises in the east.
• I walk to work.

Key rules

• Use present simple for habits, routines, facts and timetables
• Add -s or -es for he, she, it (She works)
• Use do/does for questions and negatives (Does he work?)
• Common time words are always, usually, every day

Common mistakes

• He work every day → He works every day
• She doesn't works → She doesn't work
