  • 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.
