Read the following text carefully.

Read the text carefully and answer all the questions. Choose the correct option, write True or False, and match the idioms with their meanings. 

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.)

• Structure

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).

• Daily routine phrases

1. I wake up at 6:00 a.m.                   I brush my teeth.
2. I have breakfast.                            I get dressed.
3. I go to school                                 I do homework
4. I have lunch                                   I take a shower
