Present Simple with he, she, it
Use : Present Simple is used to talk about things that we do regularly, something that is always true and schedule. We can technically name these 3 main usages as Habits, Facts and Schedules.
Forms: When Present Simple is used with he, she and it, the main verb must be added with -s, -es and -ies in a positive sentence. Do not and does not are used in a negative Sentence. Do and does are used in questions.
Positive : Sub + V -s, yes, -ies + .......
Negative : Sub + don't / doesn't + base verb .....
Yes/No : Do / does + sub + base verb...?
Wh-Question : Wh-word + do / does + sub + base verb?
Adding : -s, -es, and -ies
Rule 1 : add -es to the verb that ends in - ss, - sh, - ch, - x, - o
Example
- He kisses his kids before he leaves fro work every morning .
- Roza always washes her face when she gets up.
- My grandfather watches TV every evening.

Example

Adverbs of Frequency
An adverb of frequency is basically used before the main verb to tell how frequent a person does something. Here are some basic adverbs of frequency. Never, sometimes, often, usually, always.
100% — Always : Something happens every time.
Example: I always brush my teeth in the morning.
90% — Usually : Something happens most of the time.
Example: She usually walks to school.
80% — Normally / Generally : Something happens very often or in most situations.

Frequency Scale
Always → Usually → Normally → Often → Sometimes → Occasionally → Rarely → Hardly ever → Never
100% → 90% → 80% → 70% → 50% → 30% → 10% → 5% → 0%
