welcome to six 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 six minute grammar on Tuesdays.
Indeed.
And words like usually, sometimes, always and often go with the present simple.
Here's Harry with an example.
Six minute grammar usually finishes with a quiz.
That's true, it does.
