Present Simple

The Present Simple is a verb tense that is used to describe habitual actions that
happen with certain frequency and does not make reference to if it is happening
in the present moment. To conjugate the simple present we use the infinitive for
the subjects "I", "you", "we" and "they" and for the third persons "he", "she"
and "it" We add the following rules depending on how the verb ends. El Presente
Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones habituales que suceden con cierta frecuencia y no hace
referencia a si está ocurriendo en el momento actual. Para conjugar el presente simple usamos el infinitivo para los sujetos “I”,
“you”, “we” y “they” y para las terceras personas “he”, “she” y “it”, añadimos las siguientes reglas dependiendo como
termina el verbo.

(Remember these rules are only for 3rd Person- HE,SHE,IT)


1- If the verb ends in - "ss", "sh", "ch", "o" and "x" we add "ES" at the end of the verb
si el verbo termina en -“ss”, “sh”, “ch”, “o” y “x” se le agrega “ES” al final del verbo

2- If the verb ends in - consonant + "y" we subtract the "y" and add (IES) at the end of the verb
si el verbo termina en - consonante+“y” sustraemos la “y” y le aumentamos (IES) al final del verbo

3- We simply add ("S") if the verb does not fall into rule 1 or 2
si el verbo no cabe ni en la primera o segunda regla, solo le agregamos(“S”)
