Talking about Habits and Exercise in the Present Simple
We use the present simple to talk about habits and routines, and the gym is a great place to practise it. In this lesson you’ll learn how to ask and answer questions about routines, and you’ll pick up plenty of exercise vocabulary along the way. There are videos and activities to help you as you go.
