Hi everybody!

My name is Esther.

I'm so excited to teach you the present simple tense in today's video.

Now this lesson can be a little difficult, so I'll do my best to keep it easy and fun for you.

My goal is for you to understand how and when to use this grammar by the end of the video.

Let's get started.

Let's start with the first usage for the present simple tense.

The first usage is pretty easy.

We use it to talk about facts, truths, and generalizations.

Let's look at some examples.

The sun is bright.

Now that's a fact.

It doesn't change.

Everybody knows that the sun is bright.

It was bright yesterday, it's bright today, and it will be bright tomorrow.

That makes it a fact.

Pigs don't fly.

That's also a fact.

Everybody knows that pigs don't fly.

Cats are better than dogs.

Now this you may not agree with.

This is my truth.

I'm making a generalization about cats and dogs in this example.

And finally, it's cold in winter.

This really depends on where you live, but for a lot of people, or let's say for most people it is cold in the winter.

So that's the truth for some people.

Now let's look back and see what verb I used in the present simple tense.

For the first sentence we have is.

I use the be verb is to talk about the sun.

In the next sentence, I use the negative of do. do not.

And you'll notice I use the contraction and put these two words together to make it don't.

Cats are better than dogs.

I use the B verb are to talk about cats because cats is plural.

And finally, it's cold in winter.

Here I use the B verb is again, but I use the contraction to combine it and is and made its.

Let's move on to the next usage.

We also use the present simple tense to talk about habits and routines.

So things and actions that happen regularly.

Let's look at the examples.

I always eat lunch at noon.

You'll notice I use the adverb always because I'm talking about something that I do regularly.

What is that?

Eat lunch at noon.

So I use the present simple tense and here I use the verb eat.

I eat.

The second example says, you play games every day.

Do you see the clue that helps you know that this is something that happens regularly?

It's every day.

So it's something that happens as a routine or a habit.

So you play games.

The verb here is play.

You play.

The next example says, Seth starts work at 9am daily.

Again, this is something that happens regularly.

Seth goes to work at 9am every day.

Now you'll notice I put a blue line under the S in starts.

Can you figure out why?

Well, remember that when the subject of a sentence is he, she, or it, it, we need to add an S

or ES to the end of the verb in the present simple tense.

Seth is a he, so we need to add an S.

Seth starts work at 9am daily.

And the last example, they study English every Monday.

Again, every Monday means that they do it regularly.

And that's why we use the present simple tense.

They study.

So as a review, remember we use the present simple tense to talk about habits and routines that happen regularly.

Let's move on.

We also use the present simple tense with non-continuous verbs.

These are verbs that we don't use in the continuous form, even if they're happening right now.

They're also called stative verbs.

These are connected with thoughts, opinions, feelings, emotions, and our five senses.

Let's look at the examples.

I love my mom.

The verb here is love.

That's an emotion.

So I use the present simple tense.

It smells good.

Smell is one of the five senses.

So I use the present simple tense.

You'll notice I underlined the S because remember the subject is it.

Kelly feels happy.

This is talking about a feeling.

Again, the subject here is Kelly, which is a she.

So I added an S to the verb.

And finally, they need help.

We don't say they are needing help, even though it's happening right now.

Need is non-continuous.

So we say they need help.

So remember you also use the present simple tense with non-continuous verbs connected with thoughts,

opinions, feelings, emotions, and our five senses.

Let's move on.

Speakers occasionally use the present simple tense to talk about something that will happen in near future.

Now this can be a little confusing, but we're not using the future tense.

We're using the present simple tense.

It's possible to do that and it's actually common for people to do that.

Again, for something that will happen in the near future.

Let's look at the examples.

I have class at 6 p.m.

6 p.m.

100

That's pretty soon.

101

So I can say, I have class.

102

The present simple tense.

103

Lisa arrives on Sunday.

104

Again, the near future.

105

Sunday.

106

So I use the present simple tense.

107

I added an S at the end of arrive because Lisa, the subject, is a she.

108

We start work soon.

109

Again, the near future.

110

Soon.

111

So I use the present simple verb start.

112

And finally, my students come tomorrow.

113

This is something that will happen in the near future.

114

So I use the verb come.

115

So remember, it is possible

116

and it is common to use the present simple tense to talk about something that will happen in the near future.

117

Let's go to the next usage.

118

Let's talk about a possible negative usage for the present simple tense and that is do not and does not.

119

The first example says, Mike eats bread.

120

I put an s at the end of eat because the subject is Mike, which is a he.

121

Now that's not a negative statement.

122

What happens when I want to turn it into a negative statement?

123

Well, I change it like this.

124

Mike doesn't eat bread.

125

So you'll notice that I didn't move the s here.

126

Okay?

127

Instead I added doesn't.

128

I took does and not and I turned it into a contraction by combining the two and making it doesn't.

129

So if the subject is he, she, or it, we use does not or doesn't to make it negative.

130

You swim well.

131

In this case, I don't need to put an s at the end of swim because the subject is you.

132

If I want to make this sentence negative, I use don't.

133

You don't swim well.

134

I use the contraction for do and not.

135

I combine them to make don't.

136

So if the subject is I, you, we, or they, we use do not or don't.

137

So to review, do not and does not or don't and doesn't

138

is a possible usage for the negative for present simple tense.

139

Let's continue on.

140

Now I'll talk about one possible question form for the present simple tense and that is by using do or does.

141

So let's look at the example.

142

They live here.

143

That's not a question, right?

144

They live here.

145

In order to turn it into a question, it's really simple.

146

All I have to do is add do to the beginning and add a question mark at the end.

147

Do they live here?

148

So if the subject is I, you, we, or they, simply add do to the beginning of the question.

149

How about this one?

150

He plays soccer.

151

In this statement, the subject is he

152

and that's why you should know by now I have an S at the end of play.

153

However, to turn this into a question, I add does at the beginning.

154

Does he play soccer?

155

What you'll notice here is that I no longer have the s at the end of play.

156

Instead, I just use does at the beginning.

157

So for he, she, or it, put does at the beginning.

158

And don't worry about putting an s or es at the end of the verb.

159

So to review, one possible way of forming a question for the present simple tense is using do

160

or does at the beginning.

161

All right, let's move on.

162

Good job guys.

163

You put in a lot of practice today.

164

The present simple tense is not easy and I'm really happy to see how hard you guys worked on mastering it.

165

166

I'll see you next time.

167

Bye.

168

Thank you.

FOR YOU

本影片的口語學習目標

本影片聚焦一般現在時的實際運用，幫助學習者掌握語法規則的同時，提升日常表達的準確性與流暢度。通過學習事實陳述、習慣表達等場景，學習者能更自然地運用該時態進行交流，為雅思口語練習等實際場景打下基礎。

實用表達積累

“The Sun is bright.”（太陽很明亮）——用於陳述客觀事實
“I always eat lunch at noon.”（我總是中午吃午飯）——表達日常習慣，搭配副詞“always”
“Seth starts work at 9:00 a.m. daily.”（賽斯每天早上9點開始工作）——第三人稱單數動詞加“s”的典型用法
“They study English every Monday.”（他們每週一學英語）——複數主語的動詞形式

攻克發音與節奏難點

影片中對第三人稱單數動詞“s”的發音（如“starts”）和縮寫形式（如“don't”“it's”）的講解，有助於提升發音準確性。學習者可通過shadow speak（影子跟讀）練習，模仿母語者的語調和節奏，強化對一般現在時句子重音、連讀的把握。例如，跟讀“Pigs don't fly.”時，注意“don't”的弱讀的節奏；練習“Seth starts work...”時，關注“starts”中“s”的清晰發音。堅持shadow speech訓練，不僅能改善發音，還能增強語感，讓表達更自然流暢。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
比較級 -er than / more … than — 比較兩個事物	better than
“will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測	I'll do · will be · you'll notice
現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事	I'm making · I'm talking · they're happening
義務：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的	need to add · need to put · have to do

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
