Hello!

I will remind you of the things we are studying at the moment:

We are studying the Present Simple, which we use to talk about routines and actions that we repeat in time.

It's important to remember that the third person singular of this verb form has an -s at the end. The rest of the persons are the same.

For questions we use the auxiliary do or does for the third person singular.

Do you cook Italian food on Monday?

Does Stanley cook Italian food on Monday?


Same thing for negative sentences.

We don't cook Russian food in this restaurant.

Stanley doesn't cook Spanish food.


In order to practice the Present Simple and because it's time we learn how to talk about our routines and regular life we studied actions that we perform everyday:

wake up, get up, have breakfast, wash your hands and face, get dressed, and so on.

We are also studying how to describe a town or city. To do that we learned some adjectives:

Historic, modern, old, industrial, noisy, quiet, etc.

Since we were talking about cities, we learned some places in the city: 

bakery, supermarket, library, and so on.

And we practiced questions about those places:

What can you buy at a supermarket?
What can you do at a zoo?

And that's about it. .t is a lot of material, so we'll keep practicing it

Don't think I am lazy because I am writing the blog on Sunday. Yesterday I was very busy.

Now we are studying the Simple Present. Students already made questions and answers about it. And there are still some doubts about its use.

Remember: we use it for regular actions - habits - also  for permanent situations: She works in a travel agency.

We studied the verbs to talk about daily routines:

get up
wake up
wash your face
wash your hands
brush your teeth
get dressed
have breakfast
brush your hair
comb your hair
cook dinner
have dinner
go to bed
sleep
shave
get undressed

There is a very nice video I watched with the children where  the Present Simple is used. Here is the link:

Take a look at it if you have time. We will see it in class anyway.

HOMEWORK

Remember you must ask questions about the places in town that are in your book.

What can you buy in a book store? In a book store you can buy books.

What can you do at the zoo? You can see animals at the zoo.

You said it was too many questions and I think you are right. So don't do all of them. You may choose 15.
