Review: Simple present tense Exercise

December 2, 2015 - A1pdf

The simple present tense is used to talk about our everyday activities – things that we do regularly or at specific intervals. Before you start learning this tense form, think about things you do every day. What do you do in the morning? I go for a walk in the morning.   There is an important point to consider. In the simple present tense, when the subject is a singular noun (e.g. boy, girl, teacher or John) or a third person singular pronoun (he, she, it), the verb takes the marker –s. The verb does not take the marker-s when the subject is a plural noun (e.g. books, trees, pens, dogs, boys) or pronoun (they, we, you). The first person pronoun ‘I’ also doesn’t take the marker –s. Fill in the blanks with an appropriate verb form.
