Simple present
- We use the simple present tense to talk about routines.
E.g., My mom makes breakfast every day. (It happens all week, from Monday to Sunday, repeatedly.)
Positive - Subject + main verb + complement.
He brushes his teeth.
Negative - Subject + don't/doesn't + main verb + complement.
They don't wake up early.
Question - Do/Does + subject + main verb + complement?
Does her sister have breakfast at 9h00?
Be careful! When you use the third person (he, she, it), the main verbs change (E.g., they drink - she drinks), but for negatives and questions, we use the auxiliary doesn't and does for he, she, and it. (E.g., we don't understand - he doesn't understand).
- I wake up at 6:00 a.m. I brush my teeth.
- I have breakfast. I get dressed.
- I go to school I do homework
- I have lunch I take a shower
- I have dinner I go to bed.
