Básico 1-

¿Es muy difícil el presente simple?
A continuación tenéis un enlace para practicar.
Cuando  veáis "to+verbo", ese es el infinitivo, por lo que no tenéis que escribir "to", sólo la forma que corresponda.
Example: He (to love) New York. -> He loves New York.
En las que tenéis que teclear, os dará error si no ponéis el punto, la interrogación o mayúsculas (en el mensaje veréis la palabra capitalization) o si para escribir el apóstrofo usáis el acento y no la tecla al lado del "0".
No hagáis el último ejercicio.
Aquí tenéis muchísimos más, elegid alguna frase.
Se me había olvidado hacer el enlace de la canción de The Christians. I hope you enjoy it. (espero que la disfrutéis).
