1. Read the statements below taken from the transcription of the listening section. Then answer the question and read the rule.
"I never get up before eight, which sounds really good, but we don't finish till late." "After class there's usually a short break, 15 minutes when the studio's available [...]" "After the show you sometimes feel exhilarated, but usually I'm just tired." ▪ Do the excerpts above refer to something that happens regularly?
When we want to talk about things that happen regularly, we use the Simple Present. We add -s or -es to the verb when the subject is third person singular (e.g. My energy drops).
When we want to say how frequently something happens, we can use words such as always and never. Other possible words are sometimes, often, usually, among others.
2. Read this quotation:
"What's so special about dance is - everyone is equal, it doesn't matter where you are from or what background you have."
Now, read the following sentence aloud, choosing the right form to complete the rule: do or does.
To make a negative statement in the Simple Present, we use A+not+ verb when the subject is third person singular and use B+ not + verb when the subject is any of the other persons.
The contraction of do + not is don't. The contraction of does + not is doesn't.
