PRESENT SIMPLE - affirmative sentences


Theory:

THE PRESENT SIMPLE is used to describe actions that happen regularly or repeatedly or habitually.

Example - I play tennis, or I usually play tennis.


The base form of the verb 'PLAY' is 'TO PLAY'. The PRESENT SIMPLE uses this form with the 'TO' removed.


For the cases of HE, SHE and IT,

an 'S' is added to the verb.

Example - I PLAY tennis, but, He PLAYS tennis.


For some verbs 'ES' is added instead of 'S', and for words ending in 'Y', the 'Y' is changed to 'I'.

Example - I GO , but, He GOES .

Example - I STUDY , but, He STUDIES .


For the verb TO BE, the PRESENT SIMPLE uses 'AM','IS' and 'ARE'.

'I' always uses 'AM'.

Example - I AM happy.

'YOU','WE' and 'THEY' always use 'ARE'.

Example - You ARE happy.

'HE','SHE' and 'IT' always use 'IS'.

Example - He IS happy.
