Ahh, the present simple verb tense. For the first time, your level-one students are stepping out of the world of basic vocabulary, and into the much wider world of English grammar. It�s an exciting stage in any class - and it�s also one of the most important stages to get right. After all, your students� grasp of simple present tense singulars and plurals is the foundation on which they�ll build their understanding of English grammar in general. That means it�s crucial to give them views of this tense from all angles, using every kind of activity and exercise at your disposal.
Different teachers use different tactics to get their students familiar with the present simple tense. Some start with worksheets, then work their way up to listening and speaking exercises.
