Simple Present Boy and the Busy Day 

 This is Simple Present Boy! 
He talks about what people do every day. He helps everyone use the simple present tense the right way! 
 
Every morning, Simple Present Boy wakes up at 7 o’clock. 
He brushes his teeth, eats his breakfast, and runs to school. 
He always says, “Use the simple present to talk about things you do every day!” 
One day, his friend Mia said, “I goes to school by bike.” Uh-oh! That’s not quite right. ZOOM!
 
Simple Present Boy appeared! “Mia, we say, ‘I go to school by bike.’” “Ohhh!” said Mia. “Thank you!”
Later, his friend Jack said, “My dad like pizza.” “Not quite!” said Simple Present Boy. “Your dad is ‘he,’ so we say, ‘My dad likes pizza.’ 
 
Add -s for he, she, and it!” Jack clapped. “Now I get it!” Simple Present Boy’s golden rules: 
 
For I/you/we/they, just use the verb: I play, they run, we eat For he/she/it, add -s or -es: She plays, he runs, it watches 
 
At the end of the day, Simple Present Boy smiles. He helps everyone speak clearly and correctly! So remember: when you talk about things that happen every day, call your hero—Simple Present Boy!
