REMEMBER: We us simple verbs to talk about facts, truths and habits
We use them with verbs of state too
We form regular simple verbs by using the bare infinitive
We often use adverbs of frequency with ‘simple’ verbs:
Always, often, usually, sometimes, rarely, seldom, never
We use the past simple when we can collocate a fact in the past
We use the past simple with adverbs of past time:
