I listened to the first lecture of Grammatical Structure

hmm there isn't a lot about it I made a summary for it and I think the point about third person is interesting so i explained it

1st Lecture:
Present Simple uses:
For things happen everyday like:
habits, like My friend goes to university everyday
routines, e.g. Mona surfs the web everyday
and general facts e.g. water freezes at 0 degree

present progressive uses:
things that happen NOW.
e.g. I write this summary now.

Present Simple Form:
* He, She, It + Verb with S
e.g. She draws everyday.
* They, We, You, I + Verb infinitive
e.g. They go to work everyday.

What Is First, Second, and Third Person?
First Person: uses I as the narrator. E.g. I like books.
Second Person: uses YOU a lot. E.g. You like books
Third Person: Use He, she, it. E.g. She likes books.
Here is more about this:

Spelling Rules When Adding 'S' To Verb:
Rule 1:
Add es after verbs ending in –ch. –sh, -ss, and –x
e.g. teaches, pushes, passes, fixes.
Rule 2:
When verb ends with consonant + Y = Ies.
e.g. fly = flies. Try = Tries.
Rule 3:
Do becomes does
Go becomes goes
Have becomes has.

Negatives in Simple Present:
They/ you/ we/ I + don't +verb.
e.g I don't work.
He/ she/ it + doesn't + verb without 'S'
e.g. she doesn't work.

Questions in Simple Present:
Do + I/ you/ we/ they + verb + ?
e.g. Do you work?
Does he/ she/ it + verb (without 'S') + ?
e.g. Does she work?

good job !Amy, and thanks for all your efforts

I did the first exercise of the first reading's homework which is Exercise 3. Page 6, and I compared my answers with yours.

Determines = exams is optional for them or not required
I think the correct answer is decide, because determine is one of the first lecture's vocabularies and it means decide

anyway, thank you a lot amy, and pls continue. we will be with you ..

USES:
1- Repeated Actions:
Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

Example:
She always forgets her purse.
Does the Sun circle the Earth?
She does not play tennis.
2- Facts or Generalizations:
The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.
Example:
Cats like milk.
Do pigs like milk?
California is not in the United Kingdom.

3- Scheduled Events in the Near Future
Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.
Example:
The train leaves tonight at 6 PM.
The bus does not arrive at 11 AM, it arrives at 11 PM.
When does class begin tomorrow?
