6. Sentence

7. Exercise: P 5 Simple sentence (SP) tense:
We use the SP to talk about things that happen all the time (at the moment of
speaking), repeatedly or in general.
Ex: Alex is a bus driver. The earth goes around the sun.
I go to school at 7 a.m She works in a bank.
Note: We put a final “-s” to the 3rd person singular.
Ex: He lives in Samirono. Peter goes to London.
Also we put an “-es” at endings with: “-x, -o, -sh, -ch, -ss,”
Ex: Fixes; Does; Washes; Marches; Misses etc…
With verbs ending in “-y”, just transform “-y” by “-ies”.
Ex: The baby cries to much. Maria tries to write in English.
But “buy” is “buys”:
The student buys a book.

8. Types of sentences

9. Affirmative Sentence (AS): An “AS” is used to state or
declare an information in the positive way.
Ex: I am an student. My lecturer teaches today.
b) Negative Sentence (NS): A negative sentence is used to oppose to the affirmative one, or to deny an information. We add “not” after the auxiliary verb “to be”.
Ex: I am not a student. Children are not at home.
And we add “don’t/doesn’t” before main verbs.
Ex: They don’t study German. I don’t know your name.
She doesn’t speak English. My cat doesn’t like milk.
Interrogative Sentence (IS): We use it when we want to
get some information. We start by (do/does) except “to be” which starts
by: “is/are”.
Ex: Do you have a friend? Does Lisa go to school?
Is it correct? Are we happy today?
Exercise: Based to your own understanding, please make 5 sentences in
the AS, and then transform them into the NS and IS.
