  • 6 Minute Grammar from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Grammar with me,

  • Catherine.

  • And me, Finn.

  • Hello.

  • In this programme, we're talking about present tenses.

  • Now, let's get started.

  • The first thing we need to know is that the present simple tense is mainly for facts,

  • habits and truths.

  • Now, Catherine, give me a true fact about you.

  • A true fact about me is that I like gardening.

  • Oh, wow.

  • Great.

  • Love it.

  • Thanks, Catherine.

  • And can you tell me one of your habits?

  • I drink a cup of coffee every morning.

  • I drink one at home and I drink another one when I get to work.

  • So far, so good.

  • We make the present simple with a subject and base verb and we add s to the verb for he, she and it.

  • So, I work, you work.
