GRAMMAR
We use the present simple to talk about, something that is true in the present:

I'm eighteen years old.


I'm a student.
He lives in Riobamba.
My mother cooks very delicious.

Something that happens regularly / habits in the present:

I play football every weekend.


We go to the park on weekends.
I wake up at 7 a.m
My sister studies at the school

Something that is always true or facts that happens.

The human body contains 206 bones.


water boils at 1000 degrees.
We often use adverbs of frequency like sometimes, always and never with the
present simple:

I sometimes go to the cinema.


She never plays football.

NOTE:
If your sentence uses “am,is/are” as the main verb, you do not need do/does.
If your sentence uses any other verb, you need do/does for questions or
negatives.
