                                                  Have a nice weekend!

SIMPLE PRESENT USE
  • to give your opinion - I like ice cream. I don't like spicy food.
  • to talk about schedules - The library opens at eight. It doesn't open at 7.
  • to talk about daily habits (routine actions)- Sara eats a cheese for breakfast every day. She doesn't eat cereal.
  • to give facts - The earth circles the sun. The moon doesn't circle the sun.

The spelling of the third person singular form of the simple present:

All the verbs take an "s" in the simple present when conjugated in the third person singular (he, she, it) form:

Examples:

  • I visit my parents every summer holiday. But my wife visits her parents every weekend.
  • My brother meets his girlfriend everyday.
So the rule is:
He / she / it + Verb + S
There are however some special cases. Here are the spelling rules:
Silent eVowel + yConsonant + yVerbs ending in oVerbs ending in szshtchch
close = closes
note = notes
play = plays
say = says
study = studies
marry = marries
go = goes
do = does
miss = misses
buzz = buzzes
hatch = hatches
finish = finishes
teach = teaches
The affirmative form of the simple present:
I, you, we, theyplay.
He, she, itplays.

Remember the verbs in the third person singular (he,she and it) always take an "s". For example, "he plays, she sings,it works..."

The interrogative form of the simple present:

DoI, you, we, theyplay?
Doeshe, she, it
Examples:
