Tell a usual day
Use the present simple for a usual activity: I leave at eight. With he or she, add s to many verbs: she leaves. Use at before a time. Say by bus, by train or by bike, but on foot. A timetable can show times with numbers.
- I leave home at eight.
- She arrives at nine.
- We go to the station on foot.
Use: He leaves at seven. · Instead of: He leave at seven.
Use leaves after he for this usual activity.

Make the time and the final s clear
Say the important time a little more clearly. Keep the final sound in leaves and starts. Do not add a new syllable after s.
- She leaves at eight.
- He starts at nine.
- by train
- on foot

P03-S1 · Choose a bus for your day
Ask a travel helper about two buses. You need to arrive before your class starts. Ask the departure and arrival times, choose a bus and say why it works.
ROLE A — learner. Your class at Lake Centre starts at 9:00 in the morning. You are at Town Station. You need to arrive by 8:50. You do not know the bus timetable. Tell the helper where you want to go and when you need to arrive.
- Read only your card and note the time you need.
- Ask the helper for the bus times; listen before choosing.
- Say the bus number and both times back to the helper.

ROLE B — travel helper. Both buses go from Town Station to Lake Centre. Bus 2 leaves at 8:20 and arrives at 8:45. Bus 7 leaves at 8:40 and arrives at 9:05. Ask the learner for the destination and required arrival time. Give times when asked.
Studying alone
Solo rehearsal only. Reply to “Where do you want to go?” and “What time do you need to arrive?” Then record questions asking the departure and arrival times for Bus 2 and Bus 7. You need a partner’s answers for the real choice.
