1. Review: Questions and answers

Have you got ... ?

Yes, I have.

No, I haven’t

Example: Have you got a car? No, I haven't.

Have you got a mobile phone? Yes, I have.

2. Adverbs of frequency

We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things, or how often things happen.

There are lots of adverbs of frequency but in this unit we study the list below:

always (7 out of 7 days a week)

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday

usually (6 out of 7 days a week)

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday

often (3 or 4 out of 7 days a week)

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday

sometimes (1 or 2 out of 7 days a week)

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday

never (0 out of 7 days a week)

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday

2.1. Position of the adverbs of frequency

We usually put adverbs of frequency between the subject and the main verb.

examples: She always plays tennis on Monday.

You sometimes eat apples in the afternoon.

They never drink Coca-cola.

Or between the auxiliary and the main verb.

examples: She doesn't always play tennis on Monday.

You don't usually eat apples in the afternoon.

But they come after the verb to be.

examples: She is always in the park

You are never late to school.

3. Simple present Tense

We use the Simple Present Tense to talk about:


Everyday actions or events	We go on holidays in July. They play tennis on Tuesdays. She catches the bus every morning.
Habbits and routines	They drink coffee at breakfast. She only eats fish. They drink beer at th pub.
General facts	Water boils at a hundred degrees. The Earth travels around the Sun. Stones sink in water.
Expressing feelings.	They love their children. John hates cucumbers. I like playing the piano.

3.1. Simple present: Affirmative

We form the simple present using a name (or a personal pronoun) and the infinitive of the verb (without TO).

example: You play tennis.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we add an S to the verb.

example: He plays tennis.

3.2. Simple present: Negative

We form negative of the simple present using the auxiliary verb do and the negative not (don't) between the subject and the verb .

example: You don't play tennis.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we use does not ( doesn't )and the verb ( without S).

example: He doesn't play tennis.

3.3. Simple present: Interrogative

We form the interrogative of the simple present tense using the auxiliary verb do before the subject and adding a question mark ( ? ) at the end of the question.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we use does before the subject and the verb ( without S).

example: Does he play tennis?
