1B present simple

• We use the present simple for things we do every day / week / year, or which are generally true or always happen.

• We use don't / doesn't in negative sentences, and do / does in questions.

adverbs and expressions of frequency

1 We often go out on Friday night.

She doesn't usually study at weekends.

I'm never ill.

He's always late for work.

2 She gets up early every day.

We have English classes twice a week.

1 We often use the present simple with adverbs of frequency (always, often, sometimes, usually, hardly ever, never).

• Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb.

• Adverbs of frequency go after be.
She's never ill. NOT She's ill never.

• Remember to use a + verb with never.
It never rains. NOT It doesn't never rain.

2 Expressions of frequency (every day, once a week, etc.) usually go at the end of a sentence.
