A foreign language teacher should create his own syllabuses on grammar, lexis, pronunciation, readings, listenings, writing, et cetera. One of my students claimed one day in class they were being taught the same old things year after year (points of grammar, namely the present simple tense, the saxon genitive, some plural nouns) in a never-ending circle. Teachers were just following a formula according to the rules of programming. We have been learning foreign languages the same way we learnt everything by memorisation. I thought the student´s complaint was fair. Nowadays I try to teach something new every year.
A functional language syllabus might be as follows: 1.greetings (hello, hi, good morning, goodbye) 2.cardinal numbers from 1 to 10 (one, two) 3.how to tell the time (what time is it?) 4.days of the week 5.seasons of the year 6.how to say the date (February, 20th) 7.how to answer the phone (hello, this is Tom Smith / who is calling, please? 8.months of the year …
A lexical syllabus might be like this: 1.the English alphabet (a, b, c, d, e ) 2.colours (red, yellow, blue, green) 3.school stuff (book, pencil, dictionary, board, computers ) 5.people in school (teachers, students, secretary) 6.members of a family (father, mother, sister, brother, daughter) 7.clothes (shoes, socks, jeans, trousers, shirts, coats, jackets) …
A grammar syllabus should contain: 1.nouns (man, woman, subject, learning, student, school, examinations) 2.adjectives (shy, important, happy) 3.verbs (auxiliary verbs and lexical verbs) 4.adverbs (slowly, calmly, very, too, clearly) 5.prepositions (of, before, after, in, on) 6.pronouns (personal pronouns of subject) 7. skeleton of verbs (to read read read) 8.primary auxiliary verbs (to do, to have, to be) 9.modal auxiliary verbs (can, could, may, might, will, would) 10.regular lexical verbs (to play, to cry) 11.irregular lexical verbs (to put, to quit) 12.present simple tense of lexical verbs in the affirmative ( I speak English, she speaks Spanish) (to do, to be, to have) 13.personal pronouns of subject ( I, you, he, she ) 14.the four demonstratives (this, these, that, those) 15.articles (definite article -the-, indefinite article -a/an-) 16.saxon genitive (John´s room) 17.present simple tense of lexical verbs in the negative and interrogative (John does not like chocolate, Do you speak French?) …

Present simple tense
Basic form
Subject + Verb (present form)
Quick examples
John lives in New York.
We play football every day.
You are really kind.
The meeting starts at 3 PM.
The Present Simple is the most basic tense in the English language. It is an interesting tense because it can be used to express the future. Generally, though, we use it to describe the present activities or to talk about routines or habits.
Use
1.Facts, generalizations and universal truths
2.Habits and routines
The Present Simple is often used with the frequency adverbs:
always / frequently/often / usually / seldom/rarely / nowadays / never / every week/year / sometimes/occasionally / from time to time / every now and then
A few examples how to use them in sentences:
I always go to church on Sundays / I never eat anything after 10 PM.
3.Permanent situations
4.Events that are certain to happen
My grandmother turns 100 this July
Winter starts on December 21
5.Arrangements that we can’t change (e.g. timetables, official meetings)
6.State verbs (e.g. be, have, suppose, know)
I like swimming
We know this man
7.Narrations, instructions or commentaries
**
Note
Apart from the above uses, this tense is also used in:
8.Zero Conditional (“If it doesn’t rains, I go play football.”)
9.First Conditional (“We won’t get our pocket money, if we don’t pass this exam.”)
10.In sentences after when, before, till, after, as soon as (“Before you leave, please take the keys.”)
**
Form
Forming a sentence in the Present Simple is easy. To form a declarative sentence, all you need is the subject of the sentence (e.g. I, you, he, a dog) and the verb (e.g. be, talk, swim). Questions and negative sentences are only a little more difficult, because they require an auxiliary verb.
Declarative Sentences
Subject +Verb (present form)
e.g. he, she, a dog, etc. e.g. go, make, have, etc.
A dog is an animal / I learn English twice a week / The course starts in April
Questions
Questions require the auxiliary verb “to do” or, in the third person singular, “does”
Do or Does +Subject +Verb (present form)
e.g. he, she, a dog, etc. e.g. go, make, have, etc.
Person A: Does she like going to the mountains?
Person B: Yes, she does.
Person A: Does John have a dog?
Person B: No, he doesn’t.
When asking a question, the verb does not conjugate:
Does she have a dog?
Does she has a dog?* [WRONG]
For the verb “to be”, we do not use an auxiliary:
Is he tall?
Does he be tall?* [WRONG]
Is he a lawyer? / Does Mike go swimming every Sunday? / Does she live in London?
Negative Sentences
Subject +Don’t or Doesn’t +Verb (present form)
e.g. he, she, a dog, etc. e.g. go, make, have, etc.
Contracted forms in the negative
do + not = don’t
does + not = doesn’t
They don’t live in New York anymore / I don’t like Winter / He doesn’t go to the cinema at all / Spring doesn’t start in December
