| File info: Certainly! Here is a description of the twelfth grade English language about the Present Simple:
The Present Simple is a tense in the English language used to express general and routine events and facts that occur regularly. This tense is used to talk about things that are generally happening in the present and have no connection to the past or future.
The sentence form in the simple present tense consists of the verb in its basic form (infinitive) for non-pronominal vocabulary with the addition of “s” or “es” for verbs in third-person pronouns (he, she, it), as follows:
For words without pronouns:
- I/You/We/They + the verb in its basic form
For vocabulary, third person pronouns:
- He/She/It + verb in its base form + “s” or “es”
For example:
-I play football. (I play football)
- She reads a book. (she reads a book)
-They go to school. (they go to school)
The simple present tense is used to express daily routines, general facts, habits, and recurring events. It is also used to express scientific facts and natural laws. Adverbs of time such as "always", "usually", "sometimes", "often", and "never" can be used to indicate the frequency of an event.
By understanding and using the simple present tense correctly, students in Grade 12 are able to express events and general facts in a clear and precise way. They learn how to form sentences in this tense and how to use it in dialogue and writing to express routine activities and recurring events in their daily lives. |
