Simple Present: mapping rules and structures

Section role: supports the 'Mapping the Present' section while the teacher formalizes the rules discovered during the previous sorting challenge. Slides: (1) Title — 'Mapping the Present'; (2) What is the Simple Present? — bullets: habits, routines, universal truths, with examples like 'I live in Brazil'; (3) The 3rd Person Singular Rule — bullets: adding -s, -es, or -ies for He, She, It; (4) Conjugation Examples — bullets: 'She likes pizza' vs 'I like pizza'; (5) Auxiliary Guardians — bullets: the role of 'Do' and 'Does' in questions and negatives; (6) Negative and Interrogative Structure — bullets: 'She doesn't like pizza', 'Does he play soccer?'; (7) Key Vocabulary — bullets: habit, routine, frequency, auxiliary. Closing slide: 'Listen closely: how does our native speaker describe their Monday routine?' — sets up the listening exercise that follows. This material is part of a English foreign-language class for students in Brazil learning English. Regardless of the material's language, the key terms and examples being taught must be written in English, not in the students' native language.
