Present simple.

To make the present simple of most verbs,

use the base form (the infinitive without “to”).


“-S” and “ES” endings

With some verbs, “-es” is added for “he,” “she,” and “it.”

These include verbs ending with “-sh,” “-ch,” “-o,” “-ss,” “-x,” and “-z.”
“BE” in the present simple.

Be” is an important verb with an


irregular present simple form

Note: Contractions.
“HAVE” in the present simple.
The present simple negative.
To make negative sentences using “be” in the present
simple, “not” is added after the verb. For other verbs,
the auxiliary verb “do not” or “does not” is used

Note: The verb “be” takes the same form in positive and negative sentences. The only difference is adding “not.” “Is not” and “are
not” can be contracted in two ways. The subject and verb can be contracted, or the verb and “not.” They mean the same thing.
Negatives with other verbs in the present simple.

For verbs other than “be,” “do not” or “does not” goes before the verb to make the negative.

Note: This is the contracted form of “does not.”


Present simple questions

Questions in the present simple with “be” are formed by swapping the verb and subject. For other verbs, the auxiliary
verb “do” or “does” must be added before the subject.
In a statement, the subject comes before the verb.

In a question, the verb moves to the start of the sentence. The subject comes after the verb.

Note: Question words can be used before the verb to form open questions.
Questions with “DO” and “DOES”

For questions with verbs other than “be,” start the question with “do” or “does.” Don’t swap the subject and the main verb.

Never add “-s” or “-es” to the base form of the verb when asking a question, even in the third person singular (“he,” “she,” or “it”).
The main verb always goes in its base form in questions. Do not add “-s” or “-es” to the main
verb when asking a question.
