Download this free A1–A2 grammar worksheet PDF for English learners and teachers. This lesson helps students practise the present simple in positive sentences, negative sentences and questions.
Students learn how to use the present simple for daily routines, habits, timetables, general facts and permanent situations. The worksheet teaches the basic difference between I / you / we / they + base verb and he / she / it + verb + -s / -es / -ies.
The worksheet gives clear examples such as I work online, They live near the centre, She works from home, He watches films and The class finishes at six. Students also practise spelling changes, including verbs that take -es, such as watches, finishes and goes, and verbs ending in consonant + y, such as study → studies.
Students also practise present simple negatives and questions. The worksheet teaches do not / don’t + base verb for I / you / we / they, and does not / doesn’t + base verb for he / she / it. It also teaches question forms with Do / Does + subject + base verb?, such as Do you teach adults? and Does she speak Italian?
The PDF includes a grammar focus section, present simple exercises, choose-the-correct-form practice, sentence matching, mistake correction, mini-dialogues, rewriting tasks, meaning-and-use practice, speaking questions, writing practice, vocabulary and grammar sentence practice, an error-checking challenge, useful reminders and a full answer key.
This worksheet can be used in one-to-one lessons, group classes, online English lessons, adult ESL lessons, EFL classes, homework or independent grammar practice.
