usually, regularly, always

now, temporary situations and change and

development

We’re working hard for our exams this term

She’s getting really good at Kendo

Time expressions: at the moment, these days, now,

nowadays, this term/year, all the time

Remember: to make questions and negative sentences

in the Present simple we use the auxiliary verb do.

 We usually only use simple tenses with state verbs

(hate, like, love, need, remember, taste, think, etc.)
