Actividades de inglés para 5ºA para el día 5 de mayo

Present simple / Present continuous

Read all this information: 

Examples

I play tennis every Sunday.
I’m playing hockey now.
She eats fruit every day.
She’s eating an apple now.

Remember!

We use the present simple (You play / You don’t play) to talk about routines – what you do every day or every week. We use the present continuous( You are playing / You aren’t) playing) to talk about things you are doing now.
I watch cartoons every day.
I’m watching a film now.   

Be careful!

For the present simple, add ‘s’ or ‘es’ for he/she/it. Make the negative with ‘don’t’ or ‘doesn’t’. For the present continuous, use the verb ‘to be’ and ‘-ing’. Add ‘not’ to make the negative. 
My dad makes dinner every evening. He doesn’t make lunch.
