Dear teachers,
please correct me if there is any mistake:
- I do not read news paper.
- You do not swim.
- He does not eat breakfast.
- It does not rain today.
- We do not jump through the window.
- You do not take the passports.
- They do not leave here.

We use simple present for fewer situations than most students realize:

- I don't read the newspaper.
- You can't swim.
- He doesn't eat breakfast.
- It won't rain / isn't raining today.
- We shouldn't jump through the window.
- You didn't take the passports.
- They haven't left here.

Use simple present for habits and repeated activities, and with stative verbs (be, seem, feel, etc).

Could you be more precise? Perhaps some sample sentences.
