The simple idea

Start with this

Use the present simple for routines. With he, she and it, most affirmative verbs add -s or -es. After doesn’t, use the base verb.

See it in everyday English

Hindi and Gujarati lines explain the meaning; they are not word-for-word pronunciation guides.

  • I read every evening.मैं हर शाम पढ़ता/पढ़ती हूँ।હું દર સાંજે વાંચું છું.
  • He plays cricket.वह क्रिकेट खेलता है।તે ક્રિકેટ રમે છે.
  • We walk to school.हम पैदल स्कूल जाते हैं।અમે ચાલીને શાળાએ જઈએ છીએ.

Build a routine sentence

Start with who, add the action, then say when: My sister studies after lunch. Words such as every day, usually and often help you talk about habits.

Make the meaning negative

Say I don’t drink tea or She doesn’t drink tea. In the second sentence, doesn’t already agrees with she, so drink stays in its base form.

A common mistake, gently fixed

Needs a change: She go to school every day.

Try this: She goes to school every day.

Go changes to goes with she in this positive statement.

Say it aloud

I wake up early. I study after breakfast. My friend studies in the evening.

Optional device voice. Availability and pronunciation depend on your browser; no microphone is used.

Your turn: Describe a usual day in three sentences. Then describe someone else’s day using he or she.

Try three questions

Choose one answer for each question, then check the explanations. You can change an answer and check again.

1. She ___ in a shop.
2. We ___ lunch at one.
3. He doesn’t ___ coffee.
See answers and explanations
  1. works — Add -s with she in this statement.
  2. eat — Use the base form with we.
  3. drink — After doesn’t, use drink.
