Free printable A1 Present Simple worksheet with answers: affirmatives, he/she/it -s, negatives with don't/doesn't and questions with do/does.

Topics covered

Present Simplehe/she/it -s endingdon't / doesn'tQuestions with do / doesDaily routines

Notes for teachers

Start by reviewing the -s, -es and -ies endings for he/she/it before Exercise 1. Then contrast do/does and don't/doesn't on the board. Common mistakes include forgetting the -s (she play), adding -s after doesn't or does (doesn't likes, Does she works?), and using do with he/she/it. As a follow-up, learners can interview a partner about their daily routine using Do you...? questions. Then they write three sentences about their partner using he or she.
