Hi, I'm Rebecca.
2
Welcome to this series on English tenses.
3
In this class, we will look at the present simple tense.
4
I'll show you exactly when to use it, how to use it, and also what mistakes to be careful of when you're using this tense.
5
We'll also go through lots of practice exercises together, so you will learn exactly how to use this tense correctly and confidently.
6
Are you ready?
7
Let's get started.
8
This series is about English tenses, but what are tenses anyway?
9
Tenses are simply the way we talk about time in English.
10
What do we mean by time?
11
We mean the past, the present, the future, right?
12
These are all different times and we have different tenses to express or talk about those times.
13
So, in this lesson, we're going to look at the two basic ways that we can speak about the present in English,
14
and they are the present simple and the present continuous, or present progressive, as it's also called.
15
Now, although we are focusing on the present simple,
16
I want to give you a little overview you so that you understand the basic differences between these two simple tenses, alright?
17
So, let me give you an example.
18
In present simple, we would say, I work.
19
And in present continuous, we would say, I am working. So, what's the difference?
20
What's the difference between these two sentences?
21
What's the difference?
22
Is there a difference?
23
I don't know.
24
What do you think?
25
Well, I do know.
26
And there is a difference.
27
Perhaps in your language, there isn't any difference,
28
because in many languages, there is no difference between the way that these two ideas are expressed.
29
But in English, there is a difference in the idea and the way that we say it.
30
So, let me explain what that difference is.
31
When we say, I am working, which is that other tense, present continuous, which you can learn later,
32
that is talking about something that's happening now or something temporary.
33
What do I mean by now?
34
For example, I am teaching.
35
You are listening, right?
36
All these things are happening right now.
37
So, when we are saying that, when I'm saying that, I'm using present continuous.
38
But when I say, I work, that is in general.
39
For example, I may not be working at this moment, but I work somewhere, I have a job.
40
So when we talk about something that's true in general, that's present simple.
41
Also, present simple is for something that's more or less permanent.
42
For example, if you have a job, of course, no job or nothing in life is necessarily permanent.
43
What does permanent mean?
44
That it lasts all the time.
45
But let's say you're not changing jobs every day.
46
So more or less, this is the job you always have.
47
This is your permanent job.
48
So, then, for those kind of activities, we use present simple and we say, I work at the bank, I work in the store,
49
etc. But, I am working would just be right now or it could also be for something temporary.
50
Temporary means only for a short period of time.
51
This is for always, this is for a short period of time time.
52
This is true in general, and this one is true for something happening now.
53
So, those are some basic differences between these two tenses.
54
Now, let's focus on the tense that we're working on today, which is present simple.
55
So, how does it sound?
56
How does it actually work?
57
It's like this.
58
So, these are the different subjects, and this is the verb and the way we use it.
59
So, just repeat it after me.
60
I work.
61
You work.
62
We work.
63
They work.
64
He works.
65
She works. and it works.
66
It meaning maybe the air conditioner or the computer.
67
It is for something, which is not a person, but it's for a thing.
68
And we saw some differences there.
69
Don't worry about those changes now.
70
We're going to learn all about that in a later part of this lesson.
71
Okay?
72
So, that's what it sounds like.
73
This is a basic description of these two differences, which you can keep in mind as we now move forward with the present simple tense.
74
Now, let's look at when we use the present simple tense.
75
Okay?
76
So, we have five different situations in which we can use this tense.
77
Let's go through them one by one.
78
First of all, we can use the present simple tense to talk about things which are permanent, which are more or less always true.
79
Okay?
80
For example, we live in New York.
81
So, let's suppose that this is where you live, right?
82
Not just for a short time, but for a long time.
83
And more or less, it's a permanent situation.
84
It's always true for you.
85
It doesn't mean it's completely true always, but most of the time, this is where you live.
86
So, that's what we consider permanent.
87
So, we could say, we live in New York, he works at a bank.
88
So, when we say he works at a bank, that means that's his permanent, regular job.
89
Okay?
90
It's not a temporary job, it's not a job that he has just for a little while, that's where he works most of the time.
91
Okay?
92
So, we use this for permanent situations.
93
Think about yourself, okay?
94
Whenever you're trying to learn a tense, one of the great things you can do is to think of an example
95
that applies to your life or to people that you know.
96
What is permanent for you?
97
So, you could say a sentence right now, such as, I live in whichever city you live in.
98
Or if you're working somewhere, and then you could say, I work, okay?
99
So, you You, by making these sentences, are already using the present simple tense.
100
It's that simple.
101
Okay.
102
So, let's look at another situation in which you can use the present simple tense. For routines.
103
So, what's a routine?
104
A routine is something you do regularly, okay?
105
For example, I wake up at six o 'clock every day, okay?
106
I go to sleep at 11.
107
So wake, go, these verbs are in the present simple tense because they're talking about a regular activity, a routine.
108
We can also use this tense to talk about facts.
109
For example, the sun rises in the east.
110
It's just a fact.
111
It's something that's a scientific truth.
112
It's not something that I decided or you decided.
113
It's just true.
114
We could also say the sun sets in the west.
115
Okay?
116
Next, we can use this tense to talk about schedules, because think about it.
117
What is a schedule?
118
A schedule tells us when something is going to happen, and that's kind of connected to this point, right?
119
It's a regularly scheduled event.
120
So, for example, we could say, our class starts at nine o 'clock.
121
Why are we using present simple?
122
Because our class always starts at nine o 'clock.
123
All right?
124
It's kind of permanent, it's kind of a routine, it's a schedule.
125
Or the flight leaves at noon.
126
Not just this time, but the flight always leaves at noon.
127
It has a schedule and therefore we're using the present simple tense with the words starts and leaves.
128
Okay?
129
Got that?
130
Now, let's look at one other situation.
131
There are some words in English and they're called adverbs of frequency to describe how How often something is happening.
132
And these words are shown down here, but let's look at this sentence first.
133
She always takes the bus.
134
So always is a word that tells us how often something happens.
135
And all of these words down here are just like that.
136
So, if always is like a hundred percent of the time, we have other words.
137
We have the word never.
138
Which is zero percent.
139
It never happens.
140
It doesn't happen at all.
141
So we could say here, she never takes the bus, right?
142
We could also say, let's say 50 % of the time, okay, she takes the bus.
143
So we could say, she sometimes takes the bus, or once in a while, okay?
144
She rarely takes the bus.
145
Or, she often takes the bus.
146
So when you see one of these words, which are called adverbs of frequency,
147
that also tells you that you should be using the present simple tense along with these other situations.
148
So if you want to learn it really well, as I said, apply it to yourself.
149
Say something about your routine.
150
Say something about what you always do or what you never do, and that way you are already using the present simple tense.
151
Now, let's look at how to form the present simple tense.
152
So, I've divided the board into three sections for positive sentences,
153
negative sentences, and for questions, and we'll go through each one step by step, okay?
154
Okay?
155
So, for these subjects, I, you, we, and they, we just say work.
156
For example, I work.
157
You can say it after me.
158
That way you will remember the grammar, you'll also get the pronunciation, and it'll help you to learn and remember.
159
So, repeat after me.
160
I work, you work, we work, they work.
161
Good.
162
Now, look what happens here.
163
When it comes to he, she, and it, we need to add an S, okay?
164
That's all.
165
We need to add an S for he, she, and it.
166
Not because it's plural, it's not plural, but from a grammar point of view, in the present simple we need to add an S here.
167
So, say it after me,
168
he works, she works, and it works, okay?
169
Very good it.
170
So, that's for a positive or affirmative sentence.
171
Now, let's look at a negative sentence.
172
So, what we would say is, I don't work, if we're shortening it,
173
or we would say, I do not work.
174
So, what happened here?
175
How did we make it negative?
176
First, we have to add this word do, and down here we need to add the word does.
177
So, this is a helping verb that we have to use in this negative form, alright?
178
So, just learn it the way it is and you'll understand it and you'll get used to it.
179
So, we say, I do not work,
180
but do not, but when we shorten it, becomes don't.
181
And how does that happen?
182
We take out the O here, and then we squeeze these words together, we join them together, and it becomes don't.
183
So, first let's say it with the contraction, with the short form, because that's how we usually speak.
184
It is correct to say, I do not work, but usually we'll say, I don't work.
185
Alright?
186
But the most important thing to remember is here we say, I do not work, but here it becomes, he does not work.
187
And does not, when we shorten it, when we contract it, It becomes doesn't.
188
So what happened here?
189
We cancelled the O, and again, we joined these two words, does and not, and it became doesn't.
190
And you can always know how to spell this contraction or this short form because of where we put the apostrophe.
191
We put the apostrophe, this little comma that's in the air, in the place where we take out a letter.
192
So, we put it here instead of the O, and we put it here instead of the O.
193
So, let's go through these.
194
I don't work.
195
You don't work, we don't work, they don't work.
196
Now let's go to he, she, and it.
197
Remember, he, she, and it is always going to be a little bit different.
198
Let's hear it and say it.
199
He doesn't work, she doesn't work, it doesn't work.
200
Let's say the phone, the computer, it doesn't work, okay?
201
Now let's go to the questions.
202
So what happens in the questions?
203
In the question we also have to use that helping verb, do, okay?
204
Do here and does down here.
205
And we have to change the order, so instead of saying I do, we say do I, all right?
206
So repeat it after me.
207
Do I work?
208
I don't know.
209
I don't remember. Do you work? Do we work? Do they work?
210
Down here you would say with he, she, and it. Does he work? Does she work?
211
work?
212
Does it work?
213
All right?
214
Now, usually, of course, you're not just going to say, do you work?
215
You might say something more than that.
216
Do you work on Fridays?
217
Do you work Monday to Friday?
218
Do you work at the bank?
219
All right?
220
So, usually there's something more, but I've just put the basic form here so that you understand the structure of how to use this tense.
221
Now, another important point is that sometimes when we ask questions, we don't just start with do or does,
222
but we need to add a question word, right?
223
So maybe you want to say where.
224
What are the question words, first of all?
225
Who, what, when, where, why, how, how much, how many, how often, okay?
226
These are all what are called question words, but if you have one of these question words, all you have to do,
227
it's really easy, the only thing you have to do is to put that question word right before this structure.
228
So, where do you work, right?
229
When do you work?
230
Why do you work?
231
How much do you work?
232
How often do you work? work, but we're keeping the same structure, and we still need to have that helping verb do.
233
The same down here.
234
Where does he work?
235
When does she work?
236
Okay?
237
So, keep that structure, and even if you have a question word, don't worry, just put it at the beginning.
238
So, here we have some examples.
239
Where do you live?
240
What do you do?
241
Okay?
242
But the most important thing to remember is this part, okay?
243
He works, she works, it works.
244
This is the only place in the entire board where we're adding an S to the verb itself.
245
Everywhere else, we're just using the base form of the verb, right?
246
So let's say our verb is to work, so here it's work, I work, I don't work, do you work,
247
work, he works, here it's different, but after that it goes back to the base form of the verb, right?
248
He doesn't work.
249
Does he work?
250
So even though with he, she, and it in the positive sentence we add the S, but here in the negative, no, just go back to the base form,
251
and in the question go back to the base form of the word work work, but you do need to remember that in that positive sentence, add the s.
252
Okay?
253
So, that's the structure of the present simple tense.
254
It's really pretty straightforward, you just need to practice it and you will get it.
255
Now let's look at some of the spelling changes we need to make in the present simple tense.
256
We only need to make those changes, as I mentioned earlier, when we're using he, she, or it.
257
Because, for example, we say, I work, but he works, right?
258
So what was the spelling change we needed there?
259
We had to add an S.
260
And most of the time, with most verbs, all you need to do is add that S.
261
For example, dance becomes dances.
262
You can say it after me as well, okay? cook cooks, sleep, sleeps, alright?
263
So, there, all we did, we just added the S for, with the he, she or it, alright?
264
Next, if the verb ends with an S or an SH or a CH or an X,
265
then Then we need to add "-es", and we can almost hear it, okay?
266
Just listen.
267
For example, kiss, kisses.
268
You see that we're hearing kisses, is a little bit, it's a little bit longer, right?
269
So that tells us that we need to add an "-es".
270
The next one, wash, becomes washes.
271
teaches, teaches, fixes, fixes.
272
Okay?
273
So, that's another change.
274
Another one is verbs ending in a consonant and Y.
275
What do I mean by that?
276
If we look at this verb, study, it ends with a Y, right?
277
And just before the Y, we have a consonant.
278
What's a consonant?
279
Anything that's not a vowel is a consonant.
280
So, what's a vowel?
281
A vowel in English is A, E, I, O, or U.
282
Everything else, B, D, G, X, etc., these are all consonants.
283
So, D is a consonant, Or here, in the word try, we have a Y, and before that, we have a consonant, right?
284
So what happens in those cases?
285
We have to drop that last Y, and we have to add I, E, S.
286
You've probably seen this lots of times, okay?
287
But this is actually what's happening.
288
So, study becomes studies, try becomes tries, okay?
289
You'll get it.
290
You'll see.
291
Fry, fries, right?
292
Like French fries, okay.
293
All right.
294
So, then, last of all, there are some other verbs.
295
They're usually irregular verbs, okay?
296
Okay, these are the most common patterns,
297
but there are a few verbs where the ending might be different in one way or another, okay?
298
Sometimes the verb really changes and you have to pay attention to that.
299
You may be familiar with many of these already, but here are a few examples.
300
Go becomes like I go, he goes.
301
I do, she does.
302
I have, it has.
303
So, you see that in some cases, the verb changed completely.
304
Okay?
305
So, these are the most common patterns for spelling changes in the present simple tense.
306
Now, let's look at how to give short answers in English.
307
See, in real conversation, when someone asks you a question, we don't usually repeat the whole question in our answer.
308
We just give what's called like a short answer.
309
Let me give you an example.
310
So, if someone says, do they need help, then you could just say,
311
in short, either, yes, they do, or no, they don't.
312
So we do not have to say, yes, they need help, right?
313
You don't have to repeat that whole question.
314
You just give what's called the short answer.
315
And how do you know how to shorten it? it?
316
It's really easy.
317
So, if the question starts with do, like this, right?
318
Then your answer will include some form of do or don't,
319
depending on if it's a positive sentence or a negative one.
320
So, we see here, do they need help?
321
Yes, they do, right?
322
Or, no, they don't.
323
Alright?
324
So, the do, the way the question starts is the way you will be able to answer it.
325
Alright?
326
It's really pretty simple.
327
It really is.
328
The important thing to remember is that in the affirmative or positive answer, we cannot shorten it.
329
Okay?
330
There is no way to shorten that correctly, so here we have to say,
331
yes, they do, but here you can use the short form or that contraction that we learned, and you can say, no, they don't.
332
Alright?
333
Let's look at another example.
334
This time I think you'll be able to apply the principle yourself.
335
So the question is, does he speak French?
336
So, how did it start?
337
It does us.
338
So, what are our options?
339
Yes, he does, right?
340
Or no, he doesn't.
341
Okay?
342
Again, the does is used in the short answer.
343
Yes, he does.
344
No, he doesn't.
345
Got it?
346
Alright.
347
So, So, based on that, you can see that you could answer any question
348
that someone's asking you in Present Simple by just listening carefully to the question, but you do have to pay attention also to the subject here.
349
So, for example, in this last one, do you like this song?
350
Somebody asks you, do you like this song?
351
So your answer, they're asking you, so you can't say, yes, you, you have to say, yes, I, alright?
352
Yes, I do, right?
353
The do comes into play again.
354
Or, no, I don't.
355
So, again, you do see the same principle applied all the way.
356
And again, remember, in the positive form, you cannot shorten it, but in the negative form,
357
you can and you should shorten it because that's how we normally speak.
358
And these short answers are used a lot in normal conversation, so it would be a good idea for you to learn them, and it's really pretty fast, and I think you might have already learned them.
359
So, do you understand?
360
You could say, yes, I do.
361
I hope that's what you said.
362
Okay?
363
All right.
364
Now let's look at some common mistakes that students often make mistake when they start using the present simple tense.
365
And this way, you will know what to be careful of so that you don't make these kind of mistakes.
366
Alright?
367
Let's look.
368
So usually the mistakes are of four different kinds.
369
Sometimes the mistake is in the tense itself.
370
So remember we mentioned at the beginning that there can be present simple and present continuous, and that present simple is for something permanent,
371
and present continuous is for something temporary.
372
So sometimes learners get mixed up between these two tenses.
373
So let's say in this example that this person lives in Tokyo, right?
374
It's not just for a little while, it's where that person lives.
375
So, if that person said, I'm living in Tokyo, that would be wrong.
376
If that's where the person stays permanently, he or she should say, I live in Tokyo.
377
They could say, I'm living in Tokyo, only if it's something temporary, alright?
378
So, that is one mistake that's sometimes made with the present simple, that confusion between between it and present continuous.
379
Now, let's look at another kind of mistake.
380
That's when a mistake is made with the verb form.
381
You'll find it, because now you're good at this, okay?
382
Ready?
383
Let's read...
384
These are all mistakes, okay?
385
So, these are all wrong.
386
We're going to correct them together.
387
The sentence right now says, we likes to travel.
388
So the verb is wrong.
389
What should it be?
390
See?
391
We like to travel.
392
Say it after me.
393
We like to travel.
394
Good.
395
Here's a mistake, the same thing in the verb form, but in a negative sentence.
396
They doesn't eat vegetables.
397
That's wrong.
398
You know that.
399
What should it be?
400
They don't eat vegetables.
401
Say it after me.
402
They don't eat vegetables.
403
Good.
404
And here's a mistake in the question.
405
Does you talk to him often?
406
That's wrong.
407
We can't say that.
408
We need to say what? Do you?
409
Say it after me.
410
Do you talk to him often?
411
Good, alright?
412
So those are verb form kind of mistakes.
413
Another mistake that's possible is in spelling.
414
We looked at the many kinds of spelling, right?
415
And you need to make the changes.
416
So here, the person wrote, she tries to save money, but the spelling of the verb is incorrect,
417
because here it's a Y and before that is a consonant, remember?
418
So what should it be?
419
T -R -I -E -S.
420
We had to drop that Y and add I -E -S, so you'll pick up those spelling changes, okay?
421
Just pay attention when you're reading and so on, and it'll come to you naturally.
422
Next, sometimes an entire word is missing.
423
So, let's look at this one.
424
This is a question.
425
What time you finish work?
426
It almost sounds right, but it's not.
427
It's wrong.
428
Grammatically, in English, that's wrong.
429
Can you understand it?
430
Yes, you can understand it, but it's still wrong.
431
So how do we correct it?
432
Did you find the mistake?
433
So we should say, what time do you finish work?
434
So what was missing was that helping word, okay?
435
The helping verb.
436
Remember, we do have to add that even if you have a question word here, like what time, all right?
437
What time do you finish work?
438
So these are the four main kinds of mistakes that you have to be careful of in tense, using the wrong tense, using the wrong verb form,
439
making any kind of spelling mistakes, or leaving out an essential verb or helping verb, all right?
440
That's it.
441
You've been learning a lot, so now it's time to practice.
442
Let's get started.
443
Number one, I take, but he...
444
What would you say in present simple?
445
I take, he takes, right?
446
We have to add that S there.
447
Right, very good.
448
Now let's work it the other way.
449
Okay, she does, we, do you know it?
450
We do.
451
Very good.
452
You enjoy, she, yes, I can hear you, she enjoys.
453
Very good.
454
All right, now let's make some phrases negative, all right?
455
So we're going from positive to negative.
456
They study, they use the contraction, they don't study, right?
457
Don't being short for what? Do not.
458
Right, you got it.
459
The next one, he sings, make it negative, he, yes,
460
he doesn't sing, doesn't is short for what? Does not.
461
Very good.
462
Now, let's make some questions, so let's read the sentence first.
463
She wants to buy a new phone.
464
How would we ask the question?
465
What's the helping verb you have to use, helping word?
466
Do or does, giving you a clue there.
467
Here it's she, so we have to say, does she want to buy a new phone, okay?
468
Okay?
469
So, remember, we come back to the base form of the verb, and we have to use do or does, but because it's she, we're saying does.
470
Does she want to buy a new phone?
471
Okay?
472
Good.
473
Let's do the last one.
474
They sell books online.
475
Ask a question about that.
476
Again, what are you going to start with? Do this time.
477
Right.
478
Alright, do they sell books online, right, okay?
479
Why do?
480
Because now we're talking about they, and why does here?
481
Because we were talking about she, alright?
482
So if you got those right, that's great.
483
If you got any wrong, maybe you can go back later and check those parts, but we're going to practice some more, we're going to learn a little bit more,
484
and you'll get it for sure by the end of this, okay?
485
Stick with me.
486
To review, you know the present simple tense when you know when to use it, which we talked about, and how to use it.
487
And how do you know that you know how to use it when you can do these things?
488
You can make a positive sentence, a negative sentence, and a question.
489
For example, you should be able to say easily, they live in Amsterdam, or they don't live in Amsterdam",
490
or, do they live in Amsterdam?
491
You should be able to switch easily and comfortably and quickly and correctly between these three sentences.
492
Okay?
493
So, remember, this is the present simple tense, but this is an entire series that we have of English tenses.
494
So from the present simple, you can go to the next class, which is on the present continuous tense,
495
and that way you can take your English forward step -by -step, alright?
496
And if you'd like a little more practice on this tense, the present simple tense, go to engVid.
497
Alright?
498
Thank you very much for watching, I know you're a serious student, and I know you're going to make good progress.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
