1. LISTEN AND READ:

Brian’s Typical Day.

Every morning, on a school day, my alarm goes off at 6:30. But I usually turn it off and
close my eyes again. Of course, it’s never easy to go back to sleep after the alarm
goes off, so I get up.

I do the same things every day. First, I take a shower and get dressed for school. Then
I eat breakfast. After that, I brush my teeth. I sometimes have cereal. But I usually just
grab a banana and eat it at the bus stop. My bus leaves at exactly 7:30.

School starts at 8:00. I’m never late for school. Lunch break is at 12:00. On nice days,
my friends and I sometimes sit outside. Classes end at 3:00, but I never get home until
after 6:00. I am on the track and field team, and I practice after school. After practice, I
usually go to the gym.

On Saturdays, my school team often competes with teams from other schools. My dad
always watches me when I compete. I’m always tired after a competition, but I don’t
mind it. I love running. Sunday is my favorite day. It’s usually my lazy day, and I love it.

Grammar:
SIMPLE PRESENT

I work
you work
he works
she works
It works
we work
you work
they work

AFFIRMATIVE FORM
Subject + principal verb + complement

Verb 3rd Person

Speak Speaks
Play Plays
Give Gives
Make Makes
Normally in the present tense we add S to the end of the verb in the 3rd person (He,
She, it).

 He speaks three languages.

 She drinks coffee every morning.
 My dog hates my cat.
Irregular verbs in English in the present tense follow very simple rules. The only
change that is made to these verbs is in the third person – for He, She or It.

1. If the verb ends in SS, X, CH, SH or the letter O, we add + ES in the third person.

Verb 3rd Person

Kiss Kisses
Fix Fixes
Watch Watches
Crash Crashes
Go Goes

 A mechanic fixes cars.

 She watches soap operas every afternoon.
 He kisses his wife before he goes to work.

2. If the verb ends in a Consonant + Y, we remove the Y and + IES in the third person.

Verb 3rd Person

Carry Carries
Hurry Hurries
Study Studies
Deny Denies

 Isabel studies every night.

 The baby cries all the time.
 He denies all responsibility.

NEGATIVE FORM

Suject+ auxiliar verb ("to do") + ("not") + principal verb.

I don't play tennis.

She doesn´t go to the cinema.
We don´t know the answer.
In the negative, the main verb is always in the bare infinitive (without TO). It doesn't
change for the third person. We don't put an S on the end of the verb in the negative
form. In the examples above - talk, sleep and study do not change in the 3rd person.

 He speaks Italian
He doesn't speak Italian.

Remember: Do not can be abbreviated to Don't and Does not can be abbreviated
to Doesn't.
