A1 English Lesson 1: Present Simple - Regular Verbs (Positive)

Language Focus

We use the present simple to talk about everyday actions, habits, and routines.

Rule	Example
I / you / we / they + base form	I work in a shop. They live in Paris.
he / she / it + verb + s	He works in a shop. She lives in Paris.
Verbs ending in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x + es	She watches TV. He washes the car.
Consonant + y → change y to i, + es	She studies English. He carries the bags.

Remember: only he, she, and it need the extra letter on the verb. I, you, we, and they use the base form.
