After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn…
(Veronica Shoffstall, 1971)

We use the Present Simple for...
- Facts and things that are always or generally true.
Water boils at 100º C
- Permanent situations
John works in a bank
- Habits, routines
Mary gets up at 7.00 every day
It usually appears with Adverbs of frequency
(always, often, usually, sometimes, rarely/hardly
ever, never)
These adverbs go before the verb and after auxiliary
verbs.
He never takes the train to work
He is never late for work
You can also find the Present Simple with expressions of frequency
(once a day, twice a week, every day, every
Tuesday...)
They appear at the end of the sentence,
I go to the cinema once a week
I visit my grandparents every weekend
The Present
Simple is also used after some conjuctions of time in a future sentences
(after, when, as
soon as, before until)
I´ll call you
when I arrive
PRESENT SIMPLE SPELLING CHANGES
Some verbs have present simple spelling changes with 'he', 'she' or 'it':
Add –s for most verbs
work - works, buy - buys, ride - rides
Add –es for words that end in –ch,
-s , -sh, -x, or –z.
watch - watches, pass - passes, rush - rushes, relax - relaxes, buzz - buzzes
watch - watches, pass - passes, rush - rushes, relax - relaxes, buzz - buzzes
Verbs that end in 'y' often change 'y' to 'ie' before 's'
- marry becomes marries
- cry becomes cries
(Be careful! 'y' doesn't change to 'ie' if the ending
is 'ay', 'ey', 'oy', 'uy'. So, play becomes plays, say becomes says, buy
becomes buys, enjoy becomes enjoys, stay becomes stays)
NOW PUT THESE VERBS INTO THE PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE:
1) She (play) tennis every Sunday.
|
2) He (buy) a cup of coffee
every morning.
|
3) Julie (study) French at
school.

El presente simple se emplea para expresar costumbres acciones habituales, que tienen lugar con cierta frecuencia, genéricas, estilos de vida, rutina diaria y verdades universales. No se hace referencia a si en el momento actual se están realizando.
- Ejemplos: “We work every day” (“Trabajamos todos los días”), “Babies cry when they’re hungry” (“Los bebés lloran cuando tienen hambre”), “The sun sets in the west” (“El sol se pone por el oeste”), “She doesn’t like coffee” (“A ella no le gusta el café”).
Si el verbo termina en "ss", "sh", "ch", "x", "o", al formar la 3º persona del singular se le añade "-es".
- Ejemplo: “To kiss” (besar) = “I kiss”, “he kisses”; “to watch” (observar) = “you watch", “she watches”.
- Ejemplo: “to carry” (llevar) = “I carry”, “she carries”; “to cry” (llorar) = “they cry”, “he cries"
Las oraciones negativas se forman con el auxiliar "do", habitualmente en sus formas contraídas: "don´t para las personas "I”, “you”, “we”, “they", y "doesn´t para las personas "he”, “she”, “it".
- Ejemplos: “She doesn’t play tennis” (“Ella no juega al tenis”), “I don’t go to the cinema” (“Yo no voy al cine”).
- Ejemplo: “Do you read the book?” (“¿Lees el libro?”), “Does she go home?” (“¿Va ella a casa?”).
