Another quickie podcast. Over the next week or two or three, I will record short podcasts going through the most commonly used English verb tenses. In this one the examples are from the simple present. This tense is used to describe habits and states of being: I get up early every morning. I go to the gym after work. I like to read after dinner. I have a small dog and two cats. I live in Los Angeles.
Verb tense review - part one: simple present
1- I live in Boston. My sister lives in Barcelona.
2- I go to the gym every day. My brother only goes twice a week.
3- My mother is a doctor. She works in a hospital.
4- My daughters take piano lessons. My son studies violin.
5- My wife and I play tennis on weekends. She plays better than me.
6- Bob and Julie like to eat out. They prefer to eat Italian food.
7- I commute to and from work by bus. I listen to English podcasts on my way to work.
8- I admire my uncle. He is a talented athlete.
9- How many languages do you speak? What about your sister?
10- I speak French and German. My sister speaks French and English.
If your English is good enough, you can take my sentences, and try to form the negative version. So if I say, "I admire my uncle," you reply, "I don't admire my uncle," etc.
