6 Minute Gram, from bbclearningenglish.com Welcome to 6 Minute Grammar with me, Neil.
And me, Catherine.
Hello.
In this programme, we're looking at six different English tenses.
And our first tense is the present simple.
So, Neil, a question.
Where do you live?
I live in London.
And the present simple.
I live tells us that this is a fact or a permanent situation.
London is home.
Good.
And as well as facts, we use a present simple for regular activities too, with phrases like every day or on Saturdays.
For example, we bring you 6 Minute Grammar on Tuesdays.
Indeed.
And words like usually, sometimes, always and often go with the present simple.
Here's Harry with an example.
6 Minute Grammar usually finishes with a quiz.
