Simple Present (Unit 7)

[Sunny]

Unit 7

Simple Present

You have already learned the personal pronouns. Now let’s build the Simple Present of a verb. Let’s take the verb “to play”

I play
You play
He plays
She plays
It plays
We play
You play
They play

Remember: “He, she, it – the ‘s’ must fit”

Here are some examples:

I play football every weekend.
You often play the piano.
But: He plays volleyball every weekend.
She often plays the guitar.

Exercise: Build some simple present sentences with the verbs ‘to come’, ‘to go’, ‘to drink’, ‘to get’, ‘to drive’, ‘to know’, ‘to say’, ‘to run’.

In Unit 8 you are going to learn how to ask questions in the Present Simple.

[Swathi]

sir,
please verify my answers.

I COME TO your HOME.
HE COMES .
SHE COMES
THEY COME TO SEE THE CINEMA

I DRIVE MY VEHICLE
YOU DRIVE THAT ONE.
HE DRIVES THAT CAR
SHE DRIVES SCOOTER

I SAY
HE SAYS TO ME
SHE SAYS TO ME

I RUN
HE RUNS FASTLY
SHE RUNS SLOWLY.
I HAVE ONE PROBLEM.WHY U ADDED "TO" TO DRIVE,SAY,RUN

[Ralf]

Hi swathi,

Please don't use "u" and "your" in written English. And be careful with how you use your letters - I'm sure you don't want to SHOUT!

Again, your sentences are fine. 'She drives a scooter' or 'she drives scooters', and 'he runs fast' is what you should correct. Usually you ad 'ly' when you use an adjective, but 'fast' is one of a few exceptions.

Take care,

Ralf
