WANT TO BE HAPPY? BE GRATEFUL - ADVANCED LEVEL

Listen to Brother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk, saying the one thing all humans have in common is that each of us wants to be happy. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. An inspiring lesson in slowing down, looking where you’re going, and above all, being grateful. The video has subtitles in English which you have to activate.

PRESENT SIMPLE - HE/SHE/IT - BASIC 1

We use present simple for our routines. One of the problems is the 3rd person singular- he /she / it. Be careful because it is different:

AFFIRMATIVE	NEGATIVE	INTERROGATIVE
He speaks English      studies      watches       goes	He doesn’t speak English                study                watch                go	Does he speak English?             study             watch             go
She speaks English	She doesn’t speak English	Does she speak English?
It speaks English	It doesn’t speak English	Does it speak English?

Here are some examples to use present simple in affirmative:
