We use the present simple tense:

• to make general statements about our world: The earth moves around the sun.• to show a pattern or general truth: People work in order to meet their basic needs.• with adverbs offrequency: always, usually, often, sometimes, never: People who are too lazy to walk often use their cars instead.• with expressions such as: nowadays, these days, today (with a general meaning):

Many students today do their research via computer rather than through books.

• for verbs showing opinions or feelings, e.g. believe, think, hope: I think that we should all do as much as we can to improve our environment.

We form the present simple tense with the base form of the verb. We add s or es to form the 3rd person singular:

I play I watchyou play you watchhe/she/it plays he/she/it watches
