Welcome to our introductory class about the present simple for routines! In this class, we will be discussing the present simple tense and how it is used to talk about routines.

The present simple tense is used to describe actions that are habitual or routine. It is formed by using the base form of the verb (also known as the infinitive) for all subjects except for the third person singular, which adds an -s or -es to the end of the verb.

For example: - I walk to work every day. - She eats breakfast at 7am.

When talking about routines, we often use time expressions such as “every day,” “once a week,” or “in the morning” to indicate when the action takes place.

For example: - I brush my teeth every morning. - They go to the gym twice a week.

It is important to note that the present simple tense is not used for actions that are happening right now. For that, we use the present continuous tense.

So, to summarize, the present simple tense is used to talk about routines and habitual actions. It is formed by using the base form of the verb for most subjects and adding an -s or -es for the third person singular. Time expressions are often used to indicate when the action takes place.
