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.

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?
