    ENGLISH II

    Present Simple
    Use
    We use the present simple when something is generally or always true.
    For habits or things that we do regularly. We often use adverbs of frequency (such as 'often', 'always' and
    'sometimes') in this case, as well as expressions like 'every Sunday' or 'twice a month'. (See the present
    continuous for new, temporary or annoying habits).

    Repeated Actions
    Actions in the present taking
    place once, never or several
    times.

    Nir always plays soccer on Tuesdays. Nir


    plays football regularly - every Tuesday.

    In English, signal words are often used,


    e.g.: always, never, seldom, often,
    regularly, every Monday.
    When we wantFacts
    to state a fact or ask a
    question without any time reference,
    we use the present simple tense.
