a man
a useful book
a university
a European

an English teacher

Part One : Affirmative form

The simple present of all verbs

In this lesson, I will tackle the simple present tense of all verbs (I have already mentioned the present simple of the verb to be in my second lesson).

How to from the simple present tense?

A / There are only two basic forms for the simple present tense; one ends with -s and the other doesn't. Here are the rules, using the example of the verb to eat

I eat(simple form)

You eat (simple form)
He eats(simple form + s)
She eats(simple form + s)
It eats(simple form+ s)

We eat(simple form)
You eat(simple form)
They eat(simple form

IMPORTANT: Only THIRD PERSON SINGULAR subjects (he, she, it) must have a verb with an "s" at the end.
************************************************** **************************

B/ -Sor -ES?

With most verbs, the third person singular form is created simply by adding -S. However, with some verbs, you need to add -ES or change the ending a little. Here are the rules:

1/ Verbs ending with "z", "sh" , "ch", "ss" and "o" must take an -esat the third person singular.

Examples

He passes(verb to pass

He wishes(verb to wish)
She watches(verb to watch

She buzzes(verb to buzz
He goes (verb to go)

2/ Verbs ending with a consonant +y : you must change y to iand add 'es'.
Examples:

It flies(verb to fly

He studies(verb to study)
She carries(verb to carry

************************************************** ***************************

C/ The simple present of the verb 'To Have'

The Simple Present of the verb to have is slightly irregular, since the bare infinitive is have, whereas the form of the verb used in the third person singular is has. The Simple Present of the verb to have is conjugated as follows:

I have

You have
He has
She has
It has
We have
you have
They have

************************************************** **************************

D/ The simple present of the verb'to do'

I do

You do
He does
She does
It does
We do
They do

****************************************************************

الدرس الرابع

The Simple Present of all Verbs

Part Two: Negative and Interrogative forms

Negative form

bare infinitive of the verb

I don't work :negative form

you work
you don't work

He works
He doesn'twork

She works
She doesn't work

It works
It doesn't work

We work
We don't work

You work
You don'twork

They work
They don'twork

................................

Interrogative form

DoI work

Doyou work

Doeshe work

Doesshe work

Doesit work

Dowe work

Doyou work

Dothey work

Eighth Lesson

Countable and Uncountable Nouns

1-Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we cancount. For example: "pen".
We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:

• dog, cat, animal, man, person

• bottle, box, litre

• coin, note, dollar

• cup, plate, fork

• table, chair, suitcase, bag

• My dogs are hungry.

We can usesome and anywith countable nouns:

• I've got some dollars.
• Have you got any pens?

Wecan usea few/ few and manywith countable nouns:

• I've got a few dollars.
• I haven't got many pens.
************************************************** ***********

2-Uncountable Nouns

Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannotdivideinto separate elements. We cannot "count"them.

For example, we cannot count "milk".

. Here are some more examples of uncountable nouns:

• music, art, love, happiness

• advice, information, news

• furniture, luggage

• rice, sugar, butter, water

• electricity, gas, power

• money, currency

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:

• This news is very important.
• This coffee tastes bad.

We do not use the indefinite article a/anwith uncountable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music".

But we can say :

• a piece of news
• a bottle of water
• a grain of rice

We can use some and anywith uncountable nouns:

• I've got some money.
• Have you got any rice?

We can use a little and muchwith uncountable nouns:

• I've got a little money.
• I haven't got much rice.
********************************************

Exercises:

• A/ Write "c"if the noun is countable, "uc"if the noun is uncountable.

Example: tomato:"c"

1. tree
2. sugar
3. rice
4. water
5. cup
6. friend
7. school
8. love
9. table
10. time
