Study Notes

Present Simple

  • Use the present simple to talk about:
    • Routine actions: My sister often sings pop songs.
    • Habits: My mum and dad read magazines at the weekend.
    • Facts that are always true: We don't learn French at school.
    • States: Alex does his homework after dinner.

Have Got

  • Use have got to talk about possession: A: Have you got a good laptop? B: No, it's very slow. It hasn't got a lot of memory.
  • Use short answers to respond to questions with have got: A: Have you got a good laptop? B: No, I haven't.

Present Simple vs. Present Continuous

  • The present simple is used to talk about things that happen regularly, while the present continuous is used to talk about things that are happening now.

Negatives and Questions

  • You can make negatives in the present simple by adding don't or doesn't before the verb: Sam doesn't use his laptop every day. My sister doesn't wear headphones.
  • You can make questions by putting do or does at the beginning of the sentence: Do you use your laptop every day? Does your sister wear headphones?

Common Mistakes

  • Don't use to before the verb in the present simple: Sam doesn't mind doing homework.
  • Always use the correct form of have got: Has Jack got new headphones?
  • Make sure the verb agrees with the subject: Chris doesn't download music all the time. You don't often go for a bike ride.

Phrases and Expressions

  • Hang out with friends means spending time with friends casually.
  • Take photos means to capture images using a camera.
  • Go windsurfing means to ride on a board with a sail attached to it.
  • Don't mind (doing something) means that you are okay with doing something.
  • Be angry with someone means to feel upset or annoyed with someone.

Present Simple

  • We use the present simple to talk about routines, habits, or facts that are always true.
  • To form the present simple, we use the base form of the verb (e.g., go, sing, walk) for most subjects except third person singular (he, she, it), where we add -s (e.g., goes, sings, walks).
  • The negative form of the present simple is formed using "do not" or "don't" for most subjects and "does not" or "doesn't" for third person singular.
  • Wh- questions (such as "Where do you live?", "What do you do?", "Why does he like it?") are formed using the auxiliary verb "do" or "does" + the base form of the verb.
  • Yes/no questions (such as "Do you like pizza?", "Does he play the guitar?") are formed using the auxiliary verb "do" or "does" + the subject + the base form of the verb.

Present Simple + ‘have got’

  • We use "have got" to talk about possession.
  • The negative of "have got" is "haven't got" or "have not got."
  • Yes/no questions use "Have you got..." or "Has he got..."
  • Wh- questions use "What have you got..." or "Where has he got..."

Present Simple + adverbs of frequency

  • We use adverbs of frequency to say how often things happen.
  • Examples of frequently adverbs include "always," "usually," "often," "sometimes," "rarely," "never."
  • Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb but after the auxiliary verb "be" or "have."
  • Examples: "I always eat breakfast," "My sister rarely watches TV," "He usually drinks tea."

Common Mistakes

  • The word order for a sentence must be subject, verb, object. For example:
    • "Jack does download music all the time," not "Chris don’t download music all the time."
    • "You often go for a bike ride," not "You aren’t often go for a bike ride."
  • We use "to" after "mind." For example: "Sam doesn’t mind to do homework."
  • We use “have got” for possession, not “has got.” For example:
    • "My sister has got a bus pass."
  • Use "do" or "does" in questions. For example: "Does he like making cakes?"
  • The verb "take" is not used in the present continuous for the action of taking a picture. For example:
    • "I love to take photos."
  • When using the present simple with the auxiliary verb "be," place the adverb of frequency after the verb “be." For example: "Kyle is usually at home in the evening."

Common Phrases and Expressions

  • "hang out with friends" - spend time with friends in a relaxed way
  • "take photos" - capture images with a camera
  • "go windsurfing" - practice the sport of windsurfing
  • "download music" - get music files from the internet
  • "make cakes" - bake cakes
  • "buy clothes" - purchase clothing
  • "get online" - connect to the internet
  • "chat online" - communicate with someone online
  • "wear headphones" - put earphones on to listen to music
