 Present Simple (I do)

The present tense is the base form of the verb:

I work in Istanbul.

But with the third person singular (she/he/it), we add “–s”:

He works in Kadıköy.

We use “do” and “does” to make questions with the present simple. We use “does” for the third person
singular (she/he/it) and “do” for the others.

Do you play an instrument?

Does Johnny play football?

We use “do” and “does” with question words like where, what and when:

Where do Johnny and Mary live?

What does Mark do?
When does Andrew usually visit his grandparents?

Questions with who often don't use “do” or “does”:

Who lives in Istanbul?

Who plays tennis on the weekend? NOT “Who does live in Istanbul?”
Who works at the library?

We use “do” and “does” to make negatives with the present simple. We use “doesn't” for the third
person singular (she/he/it) and “don't” for the others.

I like football but I don't like rugby. (don't = do not)

I don't live in Antalya now.
I don't play the piano but I play the drums.
They don't work in the evening.
John doesn't live in New York City. (doesn't = does not)
Jonathan doesn't drive to work. He takes the train.

 CONDITIONALS TYPES 0-1-2

Conditionals describe the result of a certain condition. The if clause tells you the condition
(If you study hard) and the main clause tells you the result (you will pass your exams).
You can change the places of the clauses and the meaning will stay the same.

If you study hard, you will pass your exams. = You will pass your exams if you study hard.

Zero conditional (TYPE 0)

We use the zero conditional to talk about things that are generally true, especially for

First conditional (TYPE 1)

If it snows tomorrow, we will stay at home. (This will probably happen.)

Second conditional (TYPE 2)

The second conditional is used to imagine present or future situations that are impossible
or unlikely in reality.
