Présent simple

The simple present tense is used:

(3) They WATCH television regularly.

-> to talk about repeated actions or events.

Examples:

(2) They DRIVE to Monaco every summer.

-> to express general truths or facts.

-> to give instructions or directions.

Examples:

(2) You TAKE the No.7 bus to Watney and then the No.10 to Bedford.

NOTE: All the verbs take "singular forms" when conjugated in the third person singular (he, she, it) form.

For examples:

(a) John/He WATCHES TV regularly.

(b) Mary/She WORKS hard.

(c) The Earth/It REVOLVES round the Sun.

Exception: The verb "to have" changes its forms as follows. I HAVE two sisters and two brothers. But she HAS one sister and two brothers.

Surely, there is a little test for you to do. Write the verbs in brackets in  present simple .
