Варианты для организации ответа могут быть разные. Сначала можно спросить, какие правила использования present simple в целом ученик помнит. Далее следует задать уточняющие вопросы, которые касаются формулировки вопроса, образования негативной формы предложения и т. д. В конце стоит обобщить правила и представить их в виде ключевых пунктов:

Present Simple for Habitual Actions:

1. Use the Base Form:

Use the regular verb as it is, without changing it. For example, «I play.»

2. Add «s» for He, She, It, or a Singular Noun:

If you talk about he, she, it, or a single thing, add «s» to the verb.

For example, «She plays tennis.»

3. Make Negative Sentences:

To make a negative sentence, use «do not» (don’t) or «does not» (doesn’t) before the base verb.

For example, «I don’t like spicy food.»

4. Form Questions: To ask questions, use «do» or «does» before the base verb, and change the order of the subject and verb.

For example, «Do you like chocolate?»

5. Use Time Words:

Use words like «always,» «usually,» «sometimes,» and «every day» to talk about when something happens regularly.

For example, «They usually go swimming on Sundays.»

6. State Facts:

You can use the present simple to state facts or general truths.

For example, «The Earth revolves around the Sun.»
