What do you do in the evening?

I sure love to mingle, don't you? Having the opportunity to interact with strangers and people from new places sure makes life interesting. It allows us do develop new relationships and make new friends. Every class I hope that we get some time to mingle and interact with our classmates. 

"I hang out with friends in the evening!"
For our second class we got to know each other a little more intimately. We learned about things we did in our past(Find someone who...) and things we do more regularly (simple present). I learned that many of you hang out with your friends, study, drink, watch TV and play computer games often in your daily life. I even learned the meanings of 치실 and  칫솔!

"I hide from teacher when he takes my picture!"
To give you some examples about regular activities with all pronouns here are a few examples.

I run in the morning.
You study with me every Monday. 
Eun Bee sleeps every evening. 
We study English twice a week.
You speak English very well!
They go drinking on Friday nights. 

For even MORE explanation. See the rest of the blog!

Have a great weekend!!!!

[VERB] + s/es in third person


USE 1 Repeated Actions

Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.
Examples:
  • play tennis.
  • She does not play tennis.
  • Does he play tennis?
  • The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
  • The train does not leave at 9 AM.
  •  

USE 2 Facts or Generalizations

The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.
Examples:
  • Cats like milk.
  • Birds do not like milk.
  • Do pigs like milk?
  • California is in America.

USE 3 Scheduled Events in the Near Future

Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.
Examples:
  • The train leaves tonight at 6 PM.
  • The bus does not arrive at 11 AM, it arrives at 11 PM.
  • When do we board the plane?

USE 4 Now (Non-Continuous Verbs)

Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs.

Examples:
  • am here now.
  • She is not here now.
  • He needs help right now.
