Why a custom present simple quiz works better

A present simple grammar quiz works best when it reflects the exact examples your students saw in class, such as routines, timetables and facts, rather than random sentences from a worksheet bank. Generating questions from your own lesson material keeps the target forms, verbs and mistakes consistent with what you taught.

  • Target the third-person -s with he, she and it in affirmative sentences.
  • Practice do and does in questions and negatives, using the base verb after them.
  • Separate habits and facts from actions happening right now, which need the present continuous.
  • Review each explanation after a wrong answer so the rule sticks.
Example present simple grammar quiz questions
Choose the correct form: My sister ___ (live) in Madrid.lives. With he, she and it, the present simple affirmative adds -s to the base verb.
Which sentence is correct? A) She don't like tea. B) She doesn't like tea.B. With he, she and it, negatives use doesn't plus the base verb, so the -s moves to doesn't.
True or false: The present simple describes an action happening right now.False. Actions in progress now use the present continuous, as in 'She is reading.'
Change to a question: They play football on Sundays.Do they play football on Sundays? Questions use do or does with the base verb, with no extra -s.
Complete the sentence: Water ___ (boil) at 100°C at sea level.boils. Scientific facts and general truths use the present simple.

Present simple errors are usually small: a missing -s, a dropped auxiliary in questions, or doesn't followed by an extra -s. A quiz with an explanation for each answer shows students the rule behind the mistake, which is more useful than a score alone.

How do I know when to use the present simple?

Use it for habits, routines, timetables and general truths, such as 'The train leaves at 8.' Add -s or -es to the verb when the subject is he, she or it.
