Introduction
Jose Pinillo & Elias Sanchez
6th-grade class.
Welcome students to the 6th grade class of English, in today's topic we will be talking about one of the most common tenses! The Present Simple Tense and then we will have to do some interesting activities that I'm sure every single one of you will love, let's start with a quick explanation!
The Present Simple tense is the most basic tense in English and uses the base form of the verb (except for the verb be). The only change from the base is the addition of s for third person singular.
How do we make the Present Simple tense?
There are two basic structures for the Present Simple:
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 |
