Present Simple

Verbs

The present simple is the tense used to express permanent situations or events that regularly repeat or always occur.

The structure is: Subject + verb + … (-s for the third person singular)

There are some exceptions for the third person singular, depending on the ending of the verb.

The structure is: Subject + do/does + not + verb + … (does for the third person singular)

NOTE: The verb to be is irregular, so it doesn’t follow the general formation rule for the negative form, and we just add not after the verb.

The structure is: Do/does + subject + verb + …? (does for third person singular)

NOTE: The verb to be is irregular, so it doesn’t follow the general formation rule for the interrogative form. We put it at the beginning of the sentence to form questions.
