Class activities 4.1
Grammar
Simple (habitual) present
Every day I wake up at 7:00.

I never drive to work.
I always have many things to do at the office.
I usually leave the office at 6:00, but sometimes I stay working until 7:30
Do you have breakfast at home?
Yes, I do.
Do you have lunch at a restaurant?

What do all these sentences express?

What expressions of time indicate that?
What is the position of never, always, usually, sometimes in the sentences?
What do you notice in the interrogative sentences?
In interrogative
In English we only use a question mark at the end of the sentence.
We use an auxiliary verb (in this case, do) before the subject (I, you, we, they) In these
sentences this do only has a grammatical function, to make a sentence interrogative, and for a
short answer (Yes, I do)
But observe:
In What do you do in the evening? The first do is only an auxiliary to make the sentence
interrogative; the second do (hacer) is the principal verb in the sentence (¿Qué haces por la
tarde?)
For negative sentences
For negative sentences (with I, you, we and they), we use don’t.
