    The document discusses the simple present tense for statements, questions, and commands using "I" and "you". It notes that for positive statements, only the verb is used, while for negative statements "don't" precedes the verb. For questions, "do" precedes the subject and verb. Responses to yes/no questions are answered with "yes, I do" or "no, I don't". Commands use the bare verb for positive or "don't" plus the verb for negative.
