Simple Present – Structure

The simple present uses base verbs. Here is the structure:
Subject + Base Verb + Object

Here are some examples:

✓ I like pizza. ✓ She lives in Toronto.
✓ You have a brother. ✓ We have a dog.
✓ He lives in Brazil. ✓ They go to school.

For “he”, “she”, and “it” use the third-person verb. This is the same as the base verb, but it has
an “s” on the end:
1. Base Verb ——– play, live, run
2. 3rd Person Verb ——– plays, lives, runs

Here are all the pronouns with conjugations of some common verbs:
I play live want like
You play live want like
He plays lives wants likes
She plays lives wants likes
It plays lives wants likes
We play live want like
They play live want like

You can see the third person verbs have an “s” on the end. Here are some more example
sentences:
✓ I have a brother. ✓ She likes hockey.
✓ She has a brother. ✓ We live in London.
✓ You like hockey. ✓ Peter lives in London.

Yes/No Questions
Yes No Questions are important in English. They are the most basic types of questions.
Yes no questions are basic questions in English. The answer is yes or no. Here are some examples:
✓ Am I a teacher? ✓ Do you like pizza?
✓ Are you from France? ✓ Does he have a brother?
✓ Is she tall?

The answers are yes or no, like these examples:

✓ Yes, I do. ✓ No, I am not.
✓ No, I don’t ✓ Yes, you are.
✓ Yes, she does. ✓ No, we are not.
✓ No, he does not. ✓ Yes, it is.
✓ Yes, I am. ✓ No, she is not.

Yes No Questions use 2 forms:

1. Be
2. Do/Does

Yes No Questions with BE

Structure
BE + SUBJECT + Adjective/Noun

Questions with Be only go with an adjective or noun. This is because be is a verb, so you do not
need another verb.

Examples
✓ Are you a teacher? ✓ Are they from Brazil?
✓ Is she Canadian? ✓ Is David tired?

Here are some questions with answers:

✓ Are you from Brazil? No, I am not.
✓ Is she your sister? Yes, she is.
✓ Are Paul and Mike brothers? Yes, they are.
✓ Is the chair red? No, it is not.

Yes No Questions with DO

Do/Does questions are common in English. They are used as auxiliary verbs for negative
statements or simple present questions.
Questions with verbs in the simple present use the auxiliary verb “DO”.

Structure
Do/Does + Subject + Base Verb

6
Ing. Fin. Evelyn Vanesa Soria Avila ING-150

Examples:
✓ Do you like pizza? ✓ Do Marcos and Julian live in Beni?
✓ Does she play baseball? ✓ Does Carla play chess?

Answers
The answers to do/does questions are always “yes” or “no”. This is why they are Yes/No
Questions.
✓ Question: Do you like chocolate?
Answer: Yes I do. / No I do not.

✓ Question: Does she have a brother?

Answer: Yes she does. / No she does not.

Here are some questions with answers:

✓ Do you like sports? Yes, I do.
✓ Does he want pizza? No, he does not.
✓ Do they have the books? Yes, they do.
✓ Does the computer work? No, it does not.

What is the difference between questions with do and be?

The important difference is if the sentence has a verb or not. If it has a verb, use do or does:
✓ Do you live in France? ✓ Does she like hockey?

If it does not have a verb, use be:

✓ Are you happy? ✓ Is she tall?

Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency describe how often something happens. There are two types of adverbs
of frequency:
✓ Definite: We exactly know how often something happens, and use them at the end of
a sentence.
✓ Indefinite: We do not know how often something happens, and use them before the
main verb, after the modal verb or first auxiliary verb, or after the verb to be.

Adverbs of Indefinite Frequency:

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity. These are called adverbs
of frequency and include:

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence

100% always I always go to bed before 11 p.m.
90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.
80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.
70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.
50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife's birthday.
30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.
10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper.
5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.
0% never I never swim in the sea.

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my homework.
He normally gets good marks in exams.

16
Ing. Fin. Evelyn Soria ING150

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + to be + adverb
They are never pleased to see me.
She isn't usually bad tempered.

We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence: Usually, normally, often,
frequently, sometimes, occasionally.
• Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.

BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence:

Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never.

We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:
1. She hardly ever comes to my parties.
2. They never say 'thank you'.

Remember:

17
Ing. Fin. Evelyn Soria ING150

Adverbs of Definite Frequency

Adverbs of definite frequency tell us how often express the exact number of times an
action happens or happened. These adverbs are usually placed at the end of the
sentence.

Here is the list of some adverbs of definite frequency with examples:

Hourly (once every hour):
✓ Buses to London run hourly.
✓ Reapply the sunblock hourly.
✓ The nurse checks on the patient hourly.
✓ The information is updated five hourly [=every five hours].

Daily (every day)

✓ Is the museum open daily?
✓ Take two tablets with food daily.
✓ The official site is updated twice daily [=two times every day].

18
Ing. Fin. Evelyn Soria ING150

✓ She likes to shop daily.

Weekly (once a week or every week)

✓ The letters are delivered weekly. ✓ They meet weekly to discuss
