USOS DEL “PRESENT SIMPLE”

1) EL “PRESENT SIMPLE” LO UTILIZAMOS PARA HABLAR DE ACTIVIDADES QUE HACEMOS HABITUALMENTE, ES DECIR QUE SON RUTINARIAS.

EJEMPLOS: - I always talk to my grandmother on Sunday

- I get up at 8:00 a.m. o'clock every day. - She has lunch at 12:30 p.m.

ADVERBIOS DE TIEMPO LOS ADVERBIOS DE TIEMPO SON MUY COMUNES EN EL “PRESENT SIMPLE” CUANDO VAMOS HABLAR ACERCA DE LA RUTINA.

ESTOS SON: ALWAYS(siempre), EVERY DAY(todos los días), USUALLY(usualmente), OFTEN( a menudo), SOMETIMES(a veces), RARELY(raramente), HARDLY EVER(casi nunca), NEVER(nunca).

EJEMPLO: - I USUALLY DRINK SODA, SHE HARDLY EVER EATS JUNK FOOD.THEY SOMETIMES PLAY SOCCER.

EXCEPCIÓN TODOS LOS ADVERBIOS DE TIEMPO VAN ANTES DEL VERBO, EXCEPTO CON EL VERBO “TO BE” (SER O ESTAR). EN ESTE CASO LOS ADVERBIOS VAN DESPÚES DEL VERBO.
