Simple Present (Unit 7)

Dear Alexandra Koulouri,

Many thanks for your question. If you want to improve your writing skills you need to learn some basic rules: First, you need to separate each sentence by a space. Learn which words you need to capitalize. For example, proper names, nationalities and languages are always capitalized. So, it’s not ‘english’ but ‘English’. And finally, you need to start using a spell checker. Do you know what a spell checker is?

Dear Torsten,

Happy new year!

There are my sentences in present simple. Please check and correct my sentences.

My mother comes home.
She goes to swimming pool every week.
The children play chess in the classroom every morning.
His grandfather drinks coffee.
My husband drives new car.
We know that word is true.
They run every morning for their health.
Sometimes I get a taxi when I’m in a hurry.

Regards,
Nandia

Dear Techears,
Here is some sentences :
I come to cinema to watch a movie
My son goes to school every morning
My daughter drinks milk every day
She gets some new dresses
He drives the blue car
I know such a person
They say loudly
We run at soccer yard.

Please correct me if I’m wrong

Dear Torsten
After a short look on the sentence above I decided to submit a vote of no confidence for it :slight_smile:
I’ll try to explain why: The Present Simple Tense is used to express acts you do in general, as your routine. So, does Nandia’s husband have a tendency to drive only new cars or does he have simply a road sense?
On the other hand, I’m asking myself how I would express such tendency of my husband (or anybody else). I mean a situation when someone likes driving only new cars and after a short period of time he changes his car for a newer one.
Hmmm, I’d choose right the sentence in quotes above.
And what about the situation, when someone has recently bought a new car and now he drives it? Well, I’d choose right the sentence in quotes above again.
Do I feel it right, Torsten? Please, correct my view.

Best wishes and a nice Sunday for all :slight_smile:

Hi Mr. Torsten

Thanks for your lesson. I am learning and really enjoing your lessons they are very informative and understandable very easily.
Here are some sentence so plz check and correct if I am wrong.

I like to learn professional and business English.
We oftenly visit on beach every sunday.
She goes for a walk daily.
He runs very fast.
They work hard.
You try to reach home in time.

i go
you go
he go
we go
you go
they go

Hi, Misskhan

‘Daily’ is an one-worded adverb. Such adverbs are inserted between a noun and a verb in the sentence as follows:
[color=darkred]She daily goes for a walk.
(I’m not sure whether it is one of very many english grammar rules or it is only a matter of the sense of beauty - maybe an another word order in a sentence doesn’t sound nice)

I would, however, choose a two-worded adverb with the same meaning: every day. And right such adverbs you write at the end of the sentence:
[color=darkred]She goes for a walk every day.

Best regards :slight_smile:

Hmm…I think this sentence’ My husband drives new car’ hasn’t yet been completed. Perhaps we should modify it by adding an article before ‘new car’.

If I want to say someone( for instance, my husband) is currently using a new car( every day) , I will say ’ My husband drives his/our/a/the new car.’ ( ‘a’ in the sense of ’ he uses a recently bought/ brand new car’ ;and ‘the’ in the sense of '‘I use the old car and he uses the new one’)

Hi, Misskhan once more :slight_smile:

Sorry, but I didn’t find ‘oftenly’ in any english dictionaries I have an access to.
It’s true that generally adverbs are formed by adding the suffix ‘-ly’ to adjectives eg. nice - nicely, warm - warmly, close - closely… etc, however ‘often’ is an adverb.
So you’d better say: [color=darkred]We often visit…
The next issue in the sentence above is using the verb: visit. You can be on the beach, but you visit something/some place that is the beach.
So you’d better say:[color=darkred] We often visit the beach…
And the last issue: using the expression of frequency ‘every Sunday’. To explain how often you visit the beach, you have to choose whether it happens often? or every Sunday? Using both these expressions is not neseccary as well as illogical.
So you can say: [color=darkred]We often visit the beach or [color=darkred]We visit the beach every Sunday.

Best wishes :slight_smile: and have a nice week :slight_smile:

Ooooops, … Using both these expressions is not necessary as well as illogical. :slight_smile:

Sorry for my typo :slight_smile:

Best wishes for all :slight_smile:

I wake up at 6 AM very mornings in the week. But in the weekend I wait in the bed until 9:00 AM. I usualy have for my breakfast some yogurt and cakes . IAfter this i go to my satnd in the streets to open it.IShe is open all the day untill 18:00 PM , then i come back to close it. After I go to my home to order to to get my supper.

Hi torsten,

It is very interesting the way you have taken us back to square 1 (personal pronoun), then gradually progressing. For me who is a french speaking, it is a solid foundation because, grammar is the mother of a language.
Here are some examples of present tense:
I get up early every day
You drive a nice car
He knows the way
We come to see the solicitor
You run very fast
They say,come tommorow
jocool
