Welcome to English A1 Grammar & Vocabulary #023.
Today’s topic is Present Simple action verbs for everyday routines.
Quick review from the last lessons:
- We used imperative verbs like sit, stand, wait, look, and listen for simple classroom actions.
- We learned adjectives like young, old, round, long, and short.
- We practised how many for counting things.
Now we move to a very useful grammar pattern: Present Simple with action verbs.
We use this form for habits, routines, and facts.
Today’s 5 words:
1) play — pley — do a game or sport
2) read — riid — look at words and understand them
3) write — rayt — make words with a pen or keyboard
4) sleep — sliip — rest with your eyes closed at night
5) run — ran — move fast with your legs
Usage notes:
- After I, you, we, they, use the base verb: I play, we write, they run.
- After he, she, it, add -s: he reads, she sleeps.
- These verbs are common in daily life and easy to use.
5 example sentences:
1) I play football every Sunday.
Reading: ay pley fut-bohl ev-ri sun-dey
Meaning: I do football every Sunday.
Note: Use the base verb after I.
2) He reads a book at home.
Reading: hi riidz uh buk at hohm
Meaning: He reads a book at home.
Note: Use -s with he.
3) We write in our notebooks.
Reading: wi rayt in aor noot-buks
Meaning: We write in our notebooks.
Note: Use a plural subject with the base verb.
4) She sleeps early.
Reading: shi sliips er-lee
Meaning: She goes to sleep early.
Note: Use -s with she.
5) They run after school.
Reading: they ran af-ter skool
Meaning: They run after school.
Note: Use the base verb with they.
Mini practice:
- Say the 5 words aloud.
- Read the 5 sentences and notice the -s with he and she.
- Change the subject:
- I play → He plays
- We write → She writes
- They run → He runs
Answer key:
1) reads
2) play
3) sleeps
4) write
5) run
Reply instruction:
Write one new sentence with play, read, write, sleep, or run. Try to use he or she in one sentence and remember the -s ending.
Reply format: Start your reply with your explanation language code, e.g. [TR], [EN], [AR], [RU], [ES], [DE], [FR], [IT].
