Welcome every one.How are you
How is the summer with you
I hope everything is okay
Forgive me about the introduction ~I’m not good at that
This is the first topic here to MET and I hope it will be helpful to you all






~~~~~~~~~~



It will be a small review to all the things that you have done before just to remind you
To learn English you need to practice different types of skills such as: listening- speaking- writing-reading. And to be able to do all of these perfectly you need Grammar




~~~~~~~~~~~



So we are going to start with the Grammar first especially the tenses and the first tense that we have is



Present Simple



http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/593724442.png (http://www.0zz0.com)




Singular and plural



I think we all know that but just to remind you
In the present simple tense
The singular nouns or pronouns take the verb with s
The plural nouns or pronouns take the base verb without addition




~~~~~~~


Plural : We- You - I - They
Singular: He- She - It

She likes reading books
They prefer having spaghetti instead of rice
I work in ABC Company
He draws beautiful birds


Uses


Well, we have a lot of uses to the present simple and here are the important ones



Facts




These facts can be science facts or even facts from our daily life, and that will be much clear by examples



science facts

The water boils at 100ْc. This sentence is fact so we need the present simple
The sun shines from the east. Also this a fact





All these are science facts so we used this tense




Or facts from our daily life

http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/248104564.png (http://www.0zz0.com)


My father works as a doctor
I fear the darkness



These also are facts but from our life and they have nothing to do with science




To describe your feelings




If you want to describe your own feelings you need the present simple and you need this kind of verbs


Love-hate-respect-want ~ And we call them (non-action verbs) I will talk about that later in my lessons



http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/248104564.png (http://www.0zz0.com)



I love my mother
He hates the blue color
She respects her teacher


Possession




Also if you want to talk about possession you need this tense



http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/248104564.png (http://www.0zz0.com)



Jenny owns two cars
Ahmed has five sisters
Sukhee possess small flat



All these sentences we used the present simple to express that someone owns something


~~~~~~~~



Habits



Habit means something you do usually, so to show that you do that action over and over again we use this tense

http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/248104564.png (http://www.0zz0.com)




I play basketball once a week

She eats her lunch at 1:00 every day

Jenny goes shopping twice a month


to be continued

How to make Q


We have two types of questions either Yes/No Q or WH Q

For both cases you need a helping verb, so it will be like this

We use the helping verb DOES to make a Q with the singular subjects
We use the helping verb DO to make a Q with the plural subjects

For the first case (Yes/No Q) we use the following rule
:


?

The rest of the sentence

Main verb

Subject

Helping verb





(Note:: we don’t add (s) to the singular verb because of does and that applies to the negative singular sentence also)

http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/759997989.png (http://www.0zz0.com)


Does she work in ABC Company? We have no s

Do you hate Shrimps? no s

Does Ahmed like chemistry? no s


To answer this type of Q you can say

Yes, (I-we-you-they) do or Yes, (she-he-it) does
Or
No,(I-we-you-they)don’t or No, (she-he-it)doesn’t



The second case ~WH Q


~~

WH means (where-who-when-which-how-…..etc

We use the following rule




?

The rest of the sentence
Main verb

Subject

Helping verb

WH



If you notice it’s almost the same form the only different is we add WH first

http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/759997989.png (http://www.0zz0.com)




?

usually

basketball

play

you

do

Where





?

to sleep

go

she

does

When

Negative

To make any sentence negative with the present simple also we need do & does but we add to them NOT

http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/759997989.png (http://www.0zz0.com)


I don’t believe you
She doesn’t work here

Simple, right

?


http://www14.0zz0.com/2012/07/18/19/487269073.png (http://www.0zz0.com)

Finally there are some key words that might guide

Always – Usually – Often – Sometimes – Seldom – Rarely – Never

At + time => At 7:00

Once/Twice + time => once a week – twice a month

If you see them in a sentence you usually need to use the present simple

This was a quick revision to the present simple I hope you enjoyed it
