Teaching the Simple Present tense to ESL or EFL students involves teaching verb conjugation, the forms of the verb (affirmative, negative, yes/no questions, short answers, and wh- questions), and the functions of the tense. Practice worksheets can be used to help reinforce these three elements of the Simple Present verbs.

Cloze exercises are great exercises for English language learners, and for teachers. They're great for students because they help to focus on the particular grammar point. Even though they may not know all the vocabulary in the cloze sentences or cloze passages, students will still be able to focus on the Present Simple. By the way, in case you're not familiar with ESL "cloze exercises," they are simply "fill-in-the-blank" exercises.

Verb worksheets with cloze sentences are great for teachers because they are easy to correct, and take very little time to correct. These Simple Present worksheets can also be used by ESL/EFL teachers as quizzes and Present Simple tense tests. These types of exercises can be used to focus on Present Simple negatives, wh- questions and general verb conjugation.
