We usually find it with epressions such as:
often - generally - usually - always - never
every day - every week - every month - every year - sometimes
Remember we use it for habitual actions, universal truths, and 'permanent' situations, for example:
a) I usually go to school by bus. (Habitual action)
b) Water boils at 100ºC. (Universal truth)
c) I live in London.
Structure: subject + verb (base form)
I play football.
You play tennis.
We study here.
They work there.
LOOK! The alarm sounds in the 3rd person singular:
Affirmative: He PLAYS football.
Negative: He DOESN'T play football.
Question: DOES he play football?
Notice that we in the negative, questions, or after modal verbs (can, must...) we don't use the -s at the end:
He doesn't plays.
He doesn't play.
She can plays tennis.
She can play tennis.
