PRESENT SIMPLE Vs PRESENT CONTINUOUS

PRESENT SIMPLE is used to talk about habitual actions or occurrences. 

Ex. Pauline practices the piano every day. Ms. Jackson travels during the summer. Hamsters run all night.

In the PRESENT SIMPLE, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in -s). For a few verbs, the third-person singular ends with -es instead of -s. Typically, these are verbs whose root form ends in o, ch, sh, th, ss, gh, or z.

The formula for making a simple present verb negative is do/does + not + [root form of verb]. You can also use the contraction don’t or doesn’t instead of do not or does not.

Ex.  Pauline does not want to share the pie. She doesn’t think there is enough to go around. Her friends do not agree. I don’t want pie anyway.

To make the verb to be negative, the formula is [to be] + not.

Ex. I am not a pie lover, but Pauline sure is. You aren’t ready for such delicious pie.

The formula for asking a question in the simple present is do/does + [subject] + [root form of verb].

Ex. Do you know how to bake a pie? How much does Pauline love pie?
