"whom did you learn politeness?" Some one asked Loquman
" From impolite people " he answered " I didn't do everything from them which came bad to my mind "
I'm king of mistakes :-> But I'm sure you will learn the best way of good writing by thinking about my style of writing . :->

He walks home everyday.

Good topic.
But I have a question. Isn't it possible to learn grammar without knowing names of structures. I mean can somebody learn simple present tense without knowing about its name, structure and the rules? Or can't someone learn present perfect tense without knowing directly that it's used when an action is done in the past and the effect or result of it is present and available now?!
I hope that I was clear enough!
For example, suppose your mother tongue. Do you need to know the name "ماضی نقلی" and its rules to be able to produce such sentences.
All in all, should we learn grammar directly or indirectly? Should we use and learn or first know the rule and then produce and use?!
******* ******* *******
You are completely right . I agree with you but we are going to do something as the first step. little by little all of us can manage it to its best way . As you see after only 13 replies some good ideas are coming .
I'm sure every one here know English much better than me and I need that sort of sentences which seems important to use as daily conversation or other aspects and we can make a good method to fix all points instinctive and automatically .
As you see I asked every one to send me so many sentences. after reviewing these sentences for sure reader can follow a natural way of learning about structure, points and usages of this tense without thinking about its" grammatical nomenclature ".
I need some long useful conversation in simple present to show the usage of this tense in the daily conversation.
Thank you for your attention and another " thank you " for your good idea.
******* ******* *******
Good question, Zahra!
Let me say something about this question too.
The different between learning our mother tonge and a new languge is having the big society of our native languge in that time. But now, we are learning a new one by studying and maybe we don’t have enough chance to listen and speak it every moment. This differnet leads to using different ways.
If we go and live in country that we want to learn its language, maybe it doesn’t need to know about the grammar and its rules because it would be among our life automatically, but if we are learning it arificially and by using books, ets then knowing about the grammar and its rules can be necessary.

Some examples:
He is so handsome.
She is really attractive.
He comes back home at 2:00 a.m. every day.
He studies English.
She tries hard to get the scholarship.
I love reading books.
He loves playing the tar.
How are you?
How is everything with you?
I'm 25.
What do you do?
Are you tall or short?
This ruler is thirty centimeters.
He never eats meat.
She looks like me.
It doesn't make any difference.
I'm OK.
He drives fast and carelessly.
What are your goals?
What's wrong with you?
She is always in time.
He comes back home late sometimes.
He usually leaves home at 9:00 a.m.
******* ******* *******
Oh Thank you Lady
You usually do everything very well. All those sentences are useful and we are able to apply them in our daily conversation. I try to make continuous sentences in simple present tense (SPT) but we rarely use only one tense in our speaking and it seems like a game or a management following a tense.This game is a plan . Think about future of this plan. every one makes so many simple present sentences and reads others' too,they repeat them up to the time when they can use them in talking instinctively.It looks prosy at first and I know well that every one knows enough about SPT and its usage , but it is the first step and first steps always have the most important role to achieve the best results.We focus on SPT and we search them in all references. Movies , tapes, books, news paper , magazines , chats and so on are examples of those references.Imagine yourself in a forest STP is a prey and you are hunter. Every one searches its foot mark or other sing which shows its presence around.Our attention is our trap.We entrap to get more SPTs.
Oh !
It is the sound of hunting horn and it means everything is ready for a good hunting.
Have a good hunting
Let's go :->
******* ******* *******
Hunt?!!
Nice imagery!
"...first steps always have the most important role to achieve the best results."
Maybe “Often or Most of the time” is better than “Always”.
******* ******* *******
Well done!!
Different kinds of simple present.
Very Good, lady!
******* ******* *******
:-)
Thank you!
******* ******* *******
Oh!
Thank you!
But I've never go hunting. It seems hard and strange and horrible!
Poor preys!
:-/p
******* ******* *******
But you are a good hunter, dear lady!
See!
25 preys in one try!!
Preys are always waiting for hunt. "Who is hunting them" makes them poor or rich.
******* ******* *******
Let me correct myself:
I've never gone...
:-/strong>
******* ******* *******
Look!!
What am I seeing!
I wasn’t just 2 days here, but I’m seeing that all of you are here again.
Nice!
Welcome…
It seems that your leisure time is the same!
Thank you Darius, for this good topic that has made this group active again.
35th sentence: Now, I am much happier.

On of the best usages of simple present tens is " Daily routine ". You can see some daily routines :

Couldyou please write a daily routine? It could be a real or an imaginary one
Thank you!
******* ******* *******Oh!

We use simple present tense:
******* ******* *******
Very good!
It was really useful. Thank you for your complete description!
******* ******* *******
Thank you. It was so useful. Let me add something here, please.
******* ******* *******
Thank you!
They are useful!
******* ******* *******
You are welcome.
******* ******* *******
As I know it's simple present and not present simple.
:-)
******* ******* *******
Where have you found these writings?
They are interesting!
I like reading them!
******* ******* *******
Let's practice all those usages.
******* ******* *******
Oh Scientific simple present examples !
Thank you lady! Most of those examples are physical or biochemical truth.
******* ******* *******
Skoon!
Study your lessons, please!!

Facts or things which are true at all times:
Sarah is a good girl. (It is a general belief, it can't be true at all times in my idea. It is better that we say it is a general belief)
******* ******* *******
Why don't you take a rest?
******* ******* *******
Oh! Thank you, Lady.
******* ******* *******
I have a question here:
Does “Do” make it more polite or we use it to “emphasize”? (Or both of them are the same?)
******* ******* *******
Yes Sahar.
Your father had told me to remind you about it in order not to forget it again this year. He told me that last year you bought nothing for him and just kissed him and said to him:"Oh! Daddy! Really sorry!"
;-)
******* ******* *******
Sarah is a good girl.
It is a permanent fact or a truth in the mind of speaker.
Even a wrong statement :
The Sun moves around the Earth ( as they believed in medieval time) .
involves a fact (speaker's idea) so it must be Present tense.
******* ******* *******
So, If it is a permanent fact, why you bring it among "Facts or things which are true at all times"
******* ******* *******
Think again .
******* ******* *******
I thought about it…
We need some changes here.
Sarah=> Sahar
Now, we can say it is a fact that is true at all times!!
******* ******* *******
Nice!
Some of them are very beautiful.
Thanks.
******* ******* *******
You are welcome.

How about SMS?!
Like:
When we sigh about our problems, they grow D_O_U_B_L_E. But when we laugh about them... they become BuBBLes!
Have a bubbly life!
******* ******* *******
Yes. Good idea!
How about this SMS:
Dear ladies
Please be so careful these days!
If you see these days that your husband does any kind of kindness such as buying flowers, washing the dishes and so on, don't be cheated. They do so to take their gifts in men's day.
The organization of clever women is everywhere by your side.

Thank you for that.

Dear Darius
Why didn't you go on this topic? How about other tenses? Shouldn't we know other tenses?
Let's go on this way together.
:-)
******* ******* *******
Maybe we are completed in other tenses, lady!!
.
.
.
I agree with lady. But if it is possible, when you want to start a new tense, please add it in a new discussion.
******* ******* *******
Let’s have some tests here, please:
******* ******* *******
1.you know
2.wears
3.includes
4.it means
5.being should be omitted
6.passes(instead of is going to pass)-are(instead of will be)
7.don't believe(instead of are not believing)-are(instead of have been)
******* ******* *******
Well done!
Except 6 and 7 have only one incorrect part. your first answers for 6 and 7 are correct.
And the answer of 4 is "d.does it mean".
Thank you, dear lady.
You've done it very well.
******* ******* *******
I'm waiting for more examples and also long continues sentences to be sure all of us are able to use this tense very well. But no one has started to use then in his/her talking here.
Maybe we are completed in other tenses, lady!!
