The one you probably already know a little bit.
23
But after today, you will know it completely.
24
We are talking about the present simple.
25
The present simple, yes!
26
Now I know what some of you might be thinking.

36

37
Not stressful, exactly.
38
Okay, are you ready to begin?
39
I am so ready.
40
Let's do this.
41
Okay, David, let's start from the very beginning, because I want every single person watching,
42
even if they are a complete beginner, to understand this perfectly.
43
So, David, what is the present simple?
44
Great question.
45
So, the present simple is a verb tense, and we use it to talk about things that are regular, repeated, always true, or generally true.
46
Regular, repeated, always true.
47
Okay, can you give me a simple example? Of course.
48
I drink coffee every morning.
49
That's present simple.
50
I drink coffee every morning.
51
So, it's something I do every day, a habit.
52
Exactly.
53
A habit, a routine, something you do again and again.
54
Okay, what else?
55
The sun rises in the east.
56
Present simple.
57
A fact, something that is always true.
58
The sun rises in the east.
59
Yes, that is always true.
60
Every day, everywhere in the world.
61
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
62
Present simple.
63
Another fact, always true.
64
So the present simple is for habits, routines, and facts, things that are always true, things you do regularly.
65
Yes, that's the big picture.
66
And now I want to show you something really important.
67
I want to show you when we use the present simple, because there are actually several different situations.
68
Oh, so it's not just for habits?
69
Not just for habits.
70
The present simple has many uses, and today we are going to cover all of them, every single one.
71
Okay, I love this.
72
Let's go through them one by one.
73
Let's do it.
74
Okay, so the present simple has six main uses, six situations where we use it.
75
Let me go through them, and Alice, you help me with examples, okay?
76
Perfect, I'm ready.
77
Use number one, habits and routines, things you do regularly, every day, every week, every year.
78
Like, I wake up at 7 o'clock every morning.
79
Perfect, she goes to the gym three times a week.
80
They visit their parents every Sunday.
81
He drinks tea in the afternoon.
82
All habits, all routines, all present simple.
83
Beautiful.
84
Use number two.
85
Facts and things that are always true.
86
Scientific facts, general truths, things that don't change.
87
Like the earth goes around the sun.
88
Dogs are loyal animals.
89
Ice melts in heat.
90
Babies cry when they are hungry.
91
These are facts.
92
They are always true.
93
We use present simple.
94
Exactly.
95
Use number three, your permanent situation.
96
Where you live, what you do for work, your family situation.
97
Things that are true for a long time.
98
Like I live in Morocco.
99
She works at a hospital.
100
He has two children.
101
They own a small restaurant.
102
So my permanent situation, where I am, who I am, what I do, that's present simple too.
103
Yes, because these things don't change every day.
104
They are stable.
105
They are your current permanent reality.
106
Got it.
107
What's use number four?
108
Use number four.
109
Opinions, feelings, and thoughts.
110
What you think, believe, like, dislike, want, or need.
111
Like, I love learning English.
112
She thinks he is funny.
113
We believe in hard work.
114
I don't like cold weather.
115
He wants a new job.
116
Yes, all of these are present simple, because they describe your current thoughts and feelings.
117
Interesting.
118
So it's not just actions, it's also thoughts and feelings.
119
Exactly.
120
And this is something many learners forget.
121
The present simple is not only for physical actions, it's also for mental states.
122
How you feel, what you think, what you want.
123
That's really important.
124
Okay, use number five.
125
Use number five.
126
Timetables and schedules.
127
Things that are planned and fixed.
128
Transport, classes, events.
129
Oh, like the train leaves at 8.30.
130
School starts at 9 o'clock.
131
The film begins at 7 in the evening.
132
The next bus arrives in 10 minutes.
133
Wait, these are future events, but we use Present Simple.
134
Yes, and this surprises many learners.
135
When something is on a fixed schedule, a timetable, we use Present Simple even if it hasn't happened yet.
136
Because the schedule doesn't change, it's fixed, it's certain.
137
Exactly, the schedule is like a fact, and we use Present Simple for facts.
138
Oh, that makes so much sense.
139
I never thought about it that way before.
140
And use number six, instructions and directions when you tell someone how to do something step by step.
141
Like a recipe?
142
First, you mix the eggs and the flour.
143
Yes, then you add the milk.
144
You put it in the oven for 30 minutes.
145
You take it out and let it cool.
146
So cooking instructions, directions, how-to guides, they all use present simple.
147
Yes, because they describe steps that are always the same.
148
They are like facts.
149
This is how you do it.
150
Wonderful.
151
Okay, let's quickly review all six uses.
152
Ready, listeners?
153
One, habits and routines.
154
2. Facts and general truths.
155
3. Permanent situations.
156
4. Opinions, feelings, and thoughts.
157
5. Timetables and schedules.
158
6. Instructions and directions.
159
Six uses, all present simple.
160
And today, we are going to practice all of them.
161
With real conversations, real examples, and lots of practice.
162
Okay, now that we know when to use the present simple, let's talk about how to form it, how to make these sentences correctly.
163
Yes, because knowing when to use it is one thing, but you also need to know how to build the sentence correctly.
164
And this is where many learners make mistakes, especially with the third person singular.
165
We'll get to that in a moment.
166
Let's start with positive sentences, the affirmative form.
167
Okay, the basic structure is simple, subject plus the base verb.
168
Let me show you.
169
I work, you work, we work, they work.
170
Easy!
171
The verb doesn't change for I, you, we, they.
172
But, and this is very important, when we talk about he, she, or it, the verb changes.
173
Ah, here it comes, the famous S rule.
174
Yes, for he, she, it, we add an S to the verb.
175
He works, she works, it works.
176
Okay, so I work, but she works, with an S at the end.
177
Exactly.
178
Let me give you more examples.
179
I eat, she eats.
180
I drink, he drinks.
181
I live, she lives.
182
I play, he plays.
183
I read, she reads.
184
I sleep, he sleeps.
185
Perfect.
186
And listeners, this is one of the most common mistakes in English.
187
People forget to add the S for he, she, it.
188
So let's practice this right now.
189
I'll say a sentence without the S, and you and everyone watching correct it.
190
Ready?
191
She eat breakfast every day.
192
Is that correct?
193
No, it should be she eats breakfast every day.
194
He work in an office, correct?
195
No, he works in an office.
196
My mother cook very well, correct?
197
No, my mother cooks very well.
198
The dog sleep on the sofa, correct?
199
No, the dog sleeps on the sofa.
200
Haha, my dog definitely does this.
201
Haha, same.
202
Okay, so always remember, he, she, it, add the S.
203
He, she, it, add the S.
204
Say it with us.
205
He, she, it, add the S.
206
Now, there are some special spelling rules, because it's not always just adding S.
207
Sometimes it's a little different.
208
Oh yes, tell us about those, David.
209
Okay, rule one.
210
If the verb ends in S, S-H, C-H, X, or O, we add ES, not just S.
211
Like go?
212
Yes.
213
He go ES, she do ES, he watch ES, she wash ES, he fix ES, she kiss ES.
214
Go ES, do ES, watch ES, wash ES.
215
So we add ES when it would be hard to say with just S.
216
Exactly.
217
Try saying he gus.
218
It's almost impossible.
219
So we say he goes.
220
He gus.
221
That doesn't work at all.
222
So he goes.
223
Much better.
224
Rule two.
225
If the verb ends in a consonant plus y, we change the y to i and add es.
226
Hmm.
227
That sounds complicated.
228
Give me an example.
229
Sure.
230
Study.
231
He studies.
232
The y changes to i and we add es.
233
Study becomes studies.
234
He studies English every day.
235
Carry becomes carries.
236
She carries a big bag.
237
Try becomes tries.
238
He tries his best every day.
239
Fly becomes flies.
240
The bird flies south in winter.
241
Okay.
242
Y changes to I and add ES.
243
Got it.
244
But, and this is important, if the verb ends in a vowel plus Y, we just add S.
245
No change.
246
Like play.
247
He plays because A is a vowel.
248
Exactly.
249
Play becomes plays.
250
Stay becomes stays.
251
Enjoy becomes enjoys.
252
Great!
253
So only consonant plus y changes to IES.
254
Vowel plus y just gets an S.
255
Perfect!
256
You said it perfectly.
257
Okay!
258
Now let's talk about negative sentences, because we need to know how to say what we don't do.
259
Yes!
260
And for negatives, we use do not or does not, or the short form don't and doesn't.
261
For I, you, we, they, we use don't.
262
I don't like coffee.
263
They don't work on weekends.
264
For he, she, it, we use doesn't.
265
She doesn't eat meat.
266
He doesn't wake up early.
267
And notice, when we use doesn't, the main verb goes back to its base form.
268
No S.
269
This is very important.
270
Listen carefully.
271
She works.
272
Positive.
273
The S is on the verb.
274
She doesn't work.
275
Negative.
276
The S is on doesn't, not on the verb.
277
So we never say she doesn't works.
278
That's wrong.
279
Never.
280
It's always she doesn't work.
281
The S moves to doesn't.
282
The S moves to doesn't.
283
That's a great way to remember it, David.
284
Let me give you more examples.
285
He speaks French.
286
Positive.
287
S on the verb.
288
He doesn't speak French.
289
Negative.
290
No S on the verb.
291
She drives to work.
292
Positive.
293
She doesn't drive to work.
294
Negative.
295
It costs a lot.
296
Positive.
297
It doesn't cost a lot.
298
Negative.
299
Perfect.
300
The pattern is so clear.
301
I love it.
302
Now, questions.
303
How do we make questions in the present simple?
304
For I, you, we, they, we use do at the beginning.
305
Do you like music?
306
Do they live here?
307
For he, she, it, we use does at the beginning.
308
Does she work here?
309
Does he have a car?
310
And again, when we use does, the main verb has no S.
311
Does she work?
312
Not does she works.
313
Never does she works.
314
Always does she work, with does taking the S.
315
Beautiful.
316
Let me practice making questions.
317
Ready, everyone?
318
Go.
319
Do you speak English?
320
Good.
321
Yes or no question.
322
Does he live near here?
323
Perfect.
324
Do they have children?
325
Excellent.
326
Does she like her job?
327
Wonderful.
328
And we can also make questions with question words, like what, where, when, why, who, how.
329
Yes, where do you live?
330
What does she do?
331
How often do they exercise?
332
Why does he wake up so early?
333
These are all very natural, real questions, the kind you hear in everyday English conversations.
334
And they all follow the same pattern.
335
Question word, then do or does, then subject, then base verb.
336
Question word, do or does, subject, base verb.
337
Perfect structure.
338
Okay, now let's talk about something very useful.
339
Time expressions.
340
These are words and phrases that we often use with the present simple, and they help you know when to use it.
341
Oh, yes.
342
These are so helpful, because when you hear these words, you know, ah, this is present simple.
343
Exactly.
344
Let me go through the most common ones.
345
Always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never.
346
Always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never.
347
These are called frequency adverbs.
348
They tell you how often something happens.
349
I always drink water in the morning.
350
Always means 100% of the time.
351
I always drink water in the morning.
352
Always means 100% of the time.
353
She usually walks to work.
354
Usually means most of the time.
355
He often reads before bed.
356
Often means many times.
357
They sometimes eat at restaurants.
358
Sometimes means a few times.
359
Not always.
360
I rarely watch TV.
361
Rarely means almost never.
362
She never eats meat.
363
Never means zero times, not ever.
364
Always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never.
365
Say them with us one more time.
366
Always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never.
367
Good.
368
And where do these words go in the sentence?
369
This is important.
370
Great question.
371
These frequency adverbs go before the main verb.
372
I always drink coffee.
373
Always comes before drink.
374
She usually wakes up early.
375
Usually comes before wakes up.
376
He never eats breakfast.
377
Never comes before eats.
378
But there is one exception.
379
When the verb is to be, am, is, are, the frequency adverb comes after the verb.
380
I am always tired on Mondays.
381
Always comes after am.
382
She is usually happy.
383
Usually comes after is.
384
They are never late.
385
Never comes after are.
386
So, before the main verb, but after to be.
387
That's the rule.
388
Before the main verb, after to be.
389
Got it.
390
What other time expressions go with present simple?
391
Every day.
392
Every week.
393
Every month.
394
Every year.
395
Every day.
396
Every week.
397
Every month.
398
Every year.
399
I go to the gym every day.
400
We visit them every week.
401
She cleans the house every Saturday. On Mondays. On weekends.
402
On Sunday mornings.
403
He plays football on Saturdays.
404
They go to church on Sundays.
405
I do my shopping on Friday easenings.
406
In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night.
407
I drink tea in the morning.
408
She takes a walk in the afternoon.
409
He reads at night.
410
Once a week, twice a month, three times a year.
411
I call my mother twice a week.
412
We go on holiday once a year.
413
She visits the dentist twice a year.
414
These time expressions are your best friends in Present Simple.
415
When you use them, your sentences sound completely natural and correct.
416
And when a native English speaker hears these words, they immediately understand.
417
This person is talking about a habit, a routine, something they do regularly.
418
Exactly.
419
So use them as much as possible.
420
Okay, now it's time for something really fun.
421
Real conversations, real-life situations, using everything we've learned so far.
422
Yes, and our first conversation is about morning routines, because everyone has a morning routine,
423
and it's one of the most common topics in English conversation.
424
And it's almost completely in present simple, so it's perfect practice.
425
Let's go.
426
I'll start.
427
Alice, I have a question for you.
428
Of course, David.
429
What is it?
430
What time do you usually wake up in the morning?
431
Hmm.
432
I usually wake up at 6.30, but on weekends I sleep until 8 or 9.
433
6.30?
434
That's early.
435
Do you set an alarm?
436
Yes, I always set an alarm.
437
Two alarms, actually, because I sometimes turn off the first one and go back to sleep.
438
I do that too.
439
What do you do first when you wake up?
440
First, I drink a big glass of water.
441
Then I make coffee.
442
I never skip my morning coffee.
443
It's very important to me.
444
I understand that completely.
445
Coffee is life.
446
Exactly.
447
Then I take a shower.
448
I always take a shower in the morning, not at night.
449
Interesting.
450
I prefer a shower at night.
451
It helps me relax.
452
Oh, really?
453
Do you eat breakfast in the morning?
454
Yes, I always eat breakfast.
455
I usually have eggs and toast.
456
Sometimes I have cereal if I'm in a hurry.
457
I rarely eat breakfast, honestly.
458
I just don't feel hungry in the morning.
459
Really?
460
My doctor says breakfast is very important.
461
He says it gives you energy for the whole day.
462
I know, I know.
463
He's probably right.
464
What time do you usually leave the house?
465
I usually leave at 8 o'clock.
466
I take the bus to work.
467
The bus comes every 15 minutes.
468
Do you ever drive to work?
469
Sometimes, but I prefer the bus.
470
I can read on the bus.
471
I always read on my way to work.
472
Oh, that's nice.
473
I drive to work.
474
It takes about 20 minutes.
475
What time does your work start?
476
It starts at 9, but I usually arrive 10 minutes early.
477
I don't like being late.
478
Me neither.
479
I hate being late.
480
Okay, end of conversation one.
481
Did you catch all the present simple?
482
Let's count some of the verbs.
483
Wake up, set, drink, make, take, eat, leave, take, read, drive, start, arrive.
484
All present simple.
485
All talking about habits and routines.
486
Things that happen every day.
487
And notice how natural the conversation sounds.
488
It's a real conversation about real daily life.
489
And it's almost entirely in present simple.
490
Because our daily routines are the most common topic for present simple.
491
This is the tense of real everyday life.
492
Okay, our second conversation is about jobs and work.
493
Because when you meet someone new in English, one of the first questions is always, what do you do?
494
What do you do?
495
Four simple words, present simple.
496
And yet it opens up a whole conversation.
497
Let's practice.
498
David, I just met your friend Paul at the party.
499
What does he do?
500
He's a doctor.
501
He works at the main hospital in the city.
502
Oh, interesting.
503
Does he like it?
504
He loves it.
505
He says it's hard work, but very rewarding.
506
He works long hours, though.
507
Sometimes he starts at 6 in the morning and doesn't finish until 8 at night.
508
That's a very long day.
509
Does he work on weekends?
510
Yes, he works every other weekend, but he gets extra days off during the week.
511
I see.
512
And what about his wife?
513
What does she do?
514
She's a teacher.
515
She teaches primary school.
516
She works from 8 to 3, which is great for their children.
517
Oh, do they have children?
518
Yes, they have two, a boy and a girl.
519
The boy goes to primary school actually in the same school where his mother teaches.
520
Oh, how funny.
521
Does the boy like having his mother at his school?
522
He says he doesn't like it.
523
He says his friends tease him.
524
But secretly, I think he loves it.
525
I think so too.
526
And what about you, David?
527
What do you do?
528
I know we work together, but tell me again.
529
I work in a marketing company.
530
I manage a team of 10 people.
531
I spend most of my day in meetings and answering emails.
532
Do you enjoy it?
533
I enjoy the people.
534
I love my team, but honestly, I don't always enjoy the meetings.
535
Sometimes we have five meetings in one day.
536
Five meetings.
537
That sounds exhausting.
538
It really does.
539
But the work is interesting.
540
We help companies grow.
541
We create campaigns and strategies.
542
I like that part a lot.
543
That's great.
544
I think it's so important to like your work.
545
I completely agree.
546
What about you, Alice?
547
Do you still love your job?
548
I do.
549
I work in education.
550
I help people learn languages.
551
And every day I see people improve.
552
I see them go from knowing nothing to having real conversations.
553
That makes me so happy.
554
That's beautiful, Alice.
555
It really is.
556
It's the best job in the world.
557
End of conversation two.
558
Again, full of present simple.
559
Works, teaches, goes, manages, spends, enjoys, helps, creates.
560
All present simple.
561
All talking about permanent situations and regular work activities.
562
And notice, we also used does he like it, does she work, do they have children?
563
Lots of questions in Present Simple.
564
Because when we ask about someone's life, their job, their family, we use Present Simple.
565
It's the tense of who we are and what we do.
566
Okay, conversation number three.
567
And this one is about facts and opinions.
568
Remember, Present Simple is used for both things that are always true and what you think and believe.
569
Let's have a fun discussion.
570
Imagine we are at a coffee shop talking about life.
571
Let's go.
572
Alice, can I ask you something?
573
Do you think learning a language is hard?
574
Hmm, that's a good question.
575
I think it depends on the person.
576
Some people learn very quickly.
577
Others need more time.
578
But I believe everyone can learn a new language.
579
I agree.
580
I think motivation is the most important thing.
581
When you really want to learn, you find the time.
582
Exactly.
583
Exactly.
584
And I think the best way to learn a language is to use it every day, even just 10 minutes.
585
It really makes a difference.
586
That's true.
587
Do you know what's interesting?
588
Studies show that people who speak two languages have better memory.
589
Really?
590
I didn't know that.
591
That's fascinating.
592
Yes.
593
And apparently, learning a language also reduces stress.
594
It keeps your brain active and healthy.
595
Wow.
596
So learning English doesn't just help you communicate.
597
It also makes your brain healthier.
598
Exactly.
599
Science proves it.
600
And you know what else I believe?
601
I believe that English opens doors.
602
It gives you more opportunities in life.
603
100%.
604
I see it with my students all the time.
605
When they improve their English, they get better jobs.
606
They travel more.
607
They meet more people.
608
Their whole world becomes bigger.
609
That's a beautiful way to put it.
610
Their world becomes bigger.
611
It really does.
612
English connects people from every country, every culture, every background.
613
And that's why we love making these videos.
614
Because we believe in you.
615
All of you watching right now.
616
We know you can do this.
617
End of conversation three.
618
And this one showed us the opinion and fact use of present simple.
619
I think, I believe, study show, science proves, I see, all present simple.
620
All expressing thoughts, facts, and beliefs.
621
Whenever you share your opinion in English, you almost always use present simple.
622
I think, I believe, I feel, I know, I agree.
623
These are your opinion starters, and they are all present simple.
624
Use them often.
625
They make your English sound natural and fluent.
626
Okay, now let's talk about the most common mistakes that English learners make with the present simple, because knowing the mistakes helps you avoid them.
627
And I have made all of these mistakes myself at some point, so don't feel bad if you make them too.
628
Mistake number one, forgetting the S for he, she, it.
629
We talked about this before, but he is so common.
630
Let me give examples of the mistake.
631
Wrong.
632
She work every day.
633
Right?
634
She works every day.
635
Wrong.
636
He go to school by bus.
637
Right?
638
He goes to school by bus.
639
Wrong.
640
My sister live in London.
641
Right?
642
My sister lives in London.
643
Always remember, he, she, it, add the S, or ES, or IES, but always something at the end.
644
Mistake number two, using do instead of does in questions and negatives.
645
Wrong.
646
Do she like coffee?
647
Right.
648
Does she like coffee?
649
Wrong.
650
He don't understand.
651
Right.
652
He doesn't understand.
653
Wrong.
654
Do it work?
655
Right.
656
Does it work?
657
For he, she, it always does and doesn't.
658
Never do and don't.
659
Mistake number three, adding S to the main verb after does or doesn't.
660
Wrong.
661
She doesn't works here.
662
Right.
663
She doesn't work here.
664
Wrong.
665
Does he eats meat?
666
Right.
667
Does he eat meat?
668
The S belongs to does or doesn't.
669
Never to the main verb.
670
Never both at the same time.
671
Mistake number four.
672
Using present continuous instead of present simple for habits.
673
This is very common.
674
Many learners say, I am going to school every day.
675
Right.
676
I go to school every day.
677
Wrong.
678
She is drinking coffee every morning.
679
Right?
680
She drinks coffee every morning.
681
If it's a habit, something you do every day, every week, regularly, use present simple, not present continuous.
682
Present continuous is for things happening right now.
683
Present simple is for habits and routines.
684
We'll talk more about this difference in video two, the present continuous video, so make sure you watch that one too.
685
Mistake number five.
686
Forgetting to use do in questions.
687
Wrong.
688
You like English?
689
Right.
690
Do you like English?
691
Wrong.
692
She work here?
693
Right.
694
Does she work here?
695
In English, questions need the helping verb do or does.
696
You can't just make your voice go up and expect it to sound like a question in formal or written English.
697
Well, actually, in very informal spoken English, sometimes people do use just intonation.
698
You like English?
699
Spoken with a rising voice.
700
But in proper English, always use do or does.
701
Good point, David.
702
For learning purposes, always include do or does in your questions.
703
It will never be wrong, and it always sounds correct and natural.
704
Mistake number six.
705
Using present simple for things happening right now.
706
Wrong.
707
Look, the bird flies.
708
If you mean right now, this second.
709
Right.
710
Look, the bird is flying.
711
If something is happening at this exact moment, right now as you speak, you need present continuous, not present simple.
712
But if the bird flies every morning, that's a habit, then you use present simple.
713
The bird flies south every winter.
714
Context is everything.
715
Are you talking about a habit or right now?
716
That changes the tense.
717
We'll explore this more in video too.
718
But for now, remember that present simple is not for things happening right now.
719
Okay, we have covered a lot today, but I want to make sure this is a complete crash course.
720
So let's talk about a few extra special points, the things that other English videos often miss.
721
Yes, because we said this video covers everything, and we mean it.
722
Point number one, stativerbs.
723
These are verbs that we almost always use in present simple, even when we're talking about right now.
724
These are verbs for thoughts, feelings, senses, and states, not physical actions.
725
For example, I love you, not I am loving you.
726
I know the answer, not I am knowing the answer.
727
She wants a new car, not she is wanting a new car.
728
He believes in God, not he is believing in God.
729
I understand, not I am understanding.
730
These verbs, love, know, want, believe, understand, need, like, hate,
731
think opinion, see, hear, smell, taste, feel emotion.
732
They describe states, not actions, and states use present simple, even for right now.
733
So if someone asks, do you love this music?
734
You say, yes, I love it, not yes, I am loving it.
735
Although there are some exceptions.
736
Some verbs can be both stative and active with different meanings.
737
For example, I think you're right, opinion, stative, present simple.
738
But I'm thinking about it, mental process, active, present continuous.
739
We will go deeper into this in video too.
740
Right.
741
For now, the key point is verbs of feeling, thinking, sensing, and wanting generally use present simple.
742
Point number two, the present simple with if and when in conditional sentences and time clauses.
743
This is a grammar point that many learners don't know until advanced level, but we're teaching it today.
744
When we talk about something that always happens in a certain condition, we use present simple in both parts of the sentence, not future tense.
745
For example, if you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.
746
Both parts are present simple.
747
Not if you heat water to 100 degrees, it will boil.
748
That's possible too.
749
But it boils, present simple, shows it's always true, a fact.
750
When I'm tired, I drink coffee, present simple, talking about a habit.
751
If it rains, I take the bus, present simple, a personal rule, a habit.
752
When the baby cries, she picks him up, present simple, a regular response.
753
So in first conditional sentences that describe habits or general truths, both the if clause and the result clause use present simple.
754
This is a more advanced point, but now you know it, and knowing it makes your English sound much more native.
755
Point number three, using the present simple in stories and jokes.
756
Ah, yes, this is a fun one.
757
Sometimes in storytelling, especially in jokes or when you're telling a story in a very lively, engaging way, you use present simple even for past events.
758
This is called the narrative present or historic present.
759
For example, telling a joke.
760
So a man walks into a cafe.
761
He sits down.
762
He looks at the menu.
763
He calls the waiter.
764
He says, I want the most expensive thing on the menu.
765
The waiter smiles and says, that's our Wi-Fi password.
766
That's funny.
767
Ha ha.
768
But notice, walks, sits, looks, calls, says, all present simple.
769
But the story happened in the past.
770
Or rather, it's a fictional story.
771
Using present simple makes it feel alive, dynamic, like it's happening right now.
772
So native English speakers sometimes use present simple to tell stories in a more dramatic, lively way.
773
It brings the story to life.
774
Interesting, right?
775
The present simple is even more versatile than people think.
776
Okay, it's practice time.
777
This is one of the most important parts of the video, because understanding grammar is one thing, but using it is what makes you fluent.
778
So we are going to do several exercises together right now, and I want everyone watching to actually do these exercises.
779
Don't just listen.
780
Participate.
781
Your English will improve so much faster.
782
Exercise 1.
783
Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb.
784
Ready?
785
Ready.
786
My brother blank work in a bank.
787
He works.
788
My brother works in a bank.
789
Add S because it's he.
790
I blank not like spicy food.
791
I don't like spicy food.
792
Don't because it's I.
793
Blank she speak French.
794
Does she speak French?
795
Does because it's she.
796
No S on speak.
797
The sun blank set in the west.
798
The sun sets in the west.
799
Fact.
800
Add S because it's it.
801
They blank not eat meat.
802
They don't eat meat.
803
Don't because it's they.
804
What time blank the train leave.
805
What time does the train leave?
806
Does because it's the train.
807
Third person.
808
No S on leave.
809
Perfect.
810
Exercise two.
811
Put the words in the correct order to make a sentence.
812
I love this exercise.
813
Always I coffee morning in the drink.
814
I always drink coffee in the morning.
815
Frequency adverb comes before the verb.
816
Does where she live?
817
Where does she live?
818
Question word, then does, then subject, then verb.
819
Not does he understand English.
820
He does not understand English.
821
Or he doesn't understand English.
822
Twice goes she a week to the gym.
823
She goes to the gym twice a week.
824
Beautiful.
825
Your, does, like, brother, cooking.
826
Does your brother like cooking?
827
Does comes first in a yes-no question.
828
Excellent.
829
Exercise three, make your own sentences.
830
I'll give you the situation, you make the sentence, out loud or in your mind or write it down.
831
This is the most important exercise because here you create, you produce, you use the language.
832
Situation one, tell me one thing you do every morning.
833
I brush my teeth every morning.
834
Your turn, listener.
835
Situation two, tell me one fact about your country.
836
Morocco has beautiful mountains.
837
Your turn.
838
Situation three.
839
Tell me what your mother or father does for work.
840
My mother teaches at a university.
841
Your turn.
842
Situation four.
843
Tell me something you don't like.
844
I don't like loud noises.
845
Your turn.
846
Situation five.
847
Ask me a question about my daily routine.
848
Do you exercise every day, David?
849
Your turn, listeners.
850
Ask me something.
851
Great practice, everyone.
852
And if you want to share your sentences, please write them in the comments below.
853
We would love to read them.
854
Oh my goodness, we have covered so much today.
855
I am genuinely impressed with everyone who stayed until this point.
856
Seriously, if you are still here, you are dedicated and you deserve to feel proud of yourself.
857
So let's do a final review.
858
The most important points from today's crash course on the present simple.
859
Point one.
860
The present simple has six uses.
861
Habits and routines.
862
Facts and general truths.
863
Permanent situations.
864
Opinions, feelings, and thoughts.
865
timetables and schedules, instructions and directions.
866
Point two, the form, subject plus base verb.
867
For he, she, it, add s, e-s or i-e-s.
868
Point three, negatives use don't or doesn't.
869
Questions use do or does.
870
And the main verb always stays in its base form after do and does.
871
Point four, frequency adverbs, always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never, go before the main verb, but after to be.
872
Point five, state of verbs like love, know, want, understand, believe, almost always use present simple, even for right now.
873
Point six, the most common mistakes are forgetting the S for he, she, it, using do instead of does,
874
adding S after does, and using present continuous instead of present simple for habits.
875
And point seven, the present simple is the foundation of English grammar.
876
If you master this tense, everything else becomes easier.
877
Everything else becomes easier.
878
Please remember that.
879
The present simple is your foundation.
880
Build it strong.
881
Now, before we go, a quick word about what's coming in video two.
882
Yes, video two is the present continuous, and you are going to discover the difference between these two tenses because many learners confuse them, and once you understand the difference,
883
your English will improve dramatically.
884
I eat breakfast, present simple, habit.
885
I am eating breakfast, present continuous, right now.
886
Same action, different meaning, different tense.
887
And video two will make it completely clear.
888
So make sure you watch video two.
889
It's already waiting for you in the playlist.
890
And don't forget, all 12 videos in this series are connected.
891
Each one builds on the one before.
892

Your habits, your routines, your facts, your feelings.
923
Every day, every moment, every routine that makes you, you.
924
See you in video too.
925

926

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | hasn't happened · we've learned · have made |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | are planned · are called · is called |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | people who speak · everyone who stayed |
| صيغة التفضيل the -est / the most … — الأعلى أو الأدنى في مجموعة | the most important · the most common · his best |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 74 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل doesn't, don't, I'm. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/, exception /əkˈsɛpʃən/, conditional /kənˈdɪʃ.ə.nəl/, brush /bɹʌʃ/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, conditional /kənˈdɪʃ.ə.nəl/, complicated /ˈkɑm.plɪˌkeɪ.tɪd/, participate /pɑːˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: playlist /ˈpleɪˌlɪst/, topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, exception /əkˈsɛpʃən/, spicy /ˈspaɪsi/, complicated /ˈkɑm.plɪˌkeɪ.tɪd/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: verb /vɝb/, arrive /əˈɹaɪv/, everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/, discover /dɪˈskʌvə/, lively /ˈlaɪv.li/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: tense /tɛns/, blank /ˈblæŋk/, frequency /ˈfɹiːkwənsi/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, instruction /ɪnˈstɹʌkʃən/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ابدأ بسرعة 0.75×، وردّد جملة جملة، ثم عُد إلى السرعة العادية عندما يصبح الأمر سهلًا.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل verb, habit, routine.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
