My portfolio III - Dossier


Writing: My best friend

João is my best friend. We hang out together all the time. We are not only in the same class but we also spend much of the time together. João is a great friend. He practises all kind of sports, but he specially enjoys playing tennis and volleyball. He is in the volleyball School Team. At the weekends he comes to my place or I come to his and we spend some time playing computer games or watching our favourite movies. João has a younger sister. Her name is Mary. She is very pretty.

Grammar

If I understood well the use of the Present Simple it is used to describe habitual actions, things that occur with frequency in the present. There are certain time expressions that we can use along with the present simple such as usually, sometimes, often, never, always, on days of the week, etc.
