Present Simple
Grammatical Rules
Form
When conjugating the verb in the present simple, we use the infinitive with the following subjects: “I”, “you”, “we”, and “they”. For the third person (“he”, “she” and “it”), we add an “-s” to the end of the verb.
| Subject | Conjugation |
|---|---|
| I, you, we, they | talk, eat, learn, do, go… |
| he, she, it | talks, eats, learns, does, goes… |
Note: There are spelling exceptions in the third person, depending on the last letter(s) of the verb. The rules are the same as those for forming the plural. For more information, see the lesson on nouns.
Structure
1. Affirmative Sentences
Subject + verb.
Examples:
| I talk. |
| He eats. |
Subject + auxiliary verb (to do) + negative auxiliary (not) + verb.2. Negative Sentences
Examples:
| I do not [don’t] talk. |
| He does not [doesn’t] eat. |
3. Interrogative SentencesNote: Don’t forget that in negative sentences with the auxiliary “to do”, it is the auxiliary verb that is conjugated in the third person, not the principal verb.
Auxiliary verb (to do) + subject + verb?
Examples:
| Do you talk? |
| Does he eat? |
