       - We use the present tense:

             1. For repeated or regular actions in the present time period.

                      I take the train to the office.

             2. For facts.

                     The President of The USA lives in The White House.

             3. For habits.

                     I get up early every day.

           

           Rules:

           1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

                   go – goes

                  catch – catches

                  wash – washes

          2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.

                 marry – marries

                 study – studies

                carry – carries

           NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.

                 enjoy – enjoys

• ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY:

         We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

        These are called adverbs of frequency and include:

90%	usually	I usually have cereal for breakfast.

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb
I always remember to do my homework.
He normally gets good marks in exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + to be + adverb
