Grammar topic: The simple present tense.


The simple present (also called present simple or present indefinite) is a verb tense which is
used to show repetition, habit or generalization. Less commonly, the simple present can be
used to talk about scheduled actions in the near future and, in some cases, actions
happening now.
 The simple present is just the base form of the verb. Questions are made
with do and negative forms are made with do not.
 Statement: You speak English.
 Question: Do you speak English?
 Negative: You do not speak English.
 In the third person singular, -s or -es is added. Questions are made with does and
negative forms are made with does not.
 Statement: He speaks English.
 Question: Does he speak English?
 Negative: He does not speak English.
