Present Simple: regular routines

Use the Present Simple for activities that happen regularly: every day, every week, at weekends. It describes your usual life, not this moment.

I / you / we / they + base verb

• I walk to work every morning.
• We have dinner at seven.
• They play football at weekends.

For negatives use don't / doesn't + base verb: I don't work on Sundays.

he / she / it + -s

With he, she and it, add -s to the verb. Add -es after -o, -ch, -sh, -ss and -x: goes, watches, finishes.

• work → works
• go → goes
• watch → watches
• study → studies
• have → has

• My brother works in a bank.
• She watches films on Sunday evenings.
• He has lunch with his team.
