                    3       GRAMMAR FOCUS: Present Simple (Verbal Sentence)



                      A.  Read the text and circle the verbs in the text.

                                             I live with my grandmother because my parents work in Maldives.

                                        At  first,  I  do  not  like  her.  She  is  an  old  woman  with  grey  hair.  She

                                        celebrates her eightieth birthday this year. Fortunately, she becames my
                                        close friend now.
                                               We both have blue eyes, but my grandmother has wrinkles around
                                        her eyes. She also has wrinkles in her forehead. My grandma has short,
                                        wavy and dense hair. She has pointed nose and thin lips. I do not like her
                                        lips. It reminds me of my evil neighbor. I also do not like her flabby skin.
                                                   My grandmother loves to laugh. She laughs at any random thhings.
                                        When she laughs, we can see dimples in her cheeks. Her wrinkles do not
                                        cover her beauty. Thus, she does not hate her wrinkle at all. She loves to

                                        wear  ancient  sport  clothes.  Her  favorite  clothes  make  her  look  strong
                                        and stay young.

                       Verbal sentence  is a sentence where the predicate is a verb.
                             In  negative  sentences,  use  does  not  for    subject  “he,  she,  it”  and  do  not  for
                               subject “they, we, I, you”
