Present Simple Cloze: Daily Routine
A1-A2 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
A cloze exercise is a text with missing words that you fill in. This type of
exercise is excellent for learning grammar in context because you read a complete story
or description and choose the correct verb forms. In this exercise, you read about a person's
daily routine and fill in present simple verbs. You must decide whether to use the basic form
(I/you/we/they) or add -s/-es (he/she/it) based on the subject in each sentence.
Reading a full text helps you see how present simple works in connected writing, not just in single sentences. Pay attention to the words around each gap — the subject tells you which form to use, and time expressions like "every morning" or "at night" confirm that present simple is the right tense. This is the same skill you need for reading tests in Cambridge and IELTS exams, where cloze tasks appear at many levels. Practising with daily routine topics builds both your grammar and your everyday vocabulary at the same time.
