Simple Present Tense

The simple present tense is one of the most basic tenses and is usually the first
tense to learn. Even elementary school students learn more about the simple
present tense. The simple present tense can be used in the following situations:
- Explaining facts or general truths.
- Stating something that is done repeatedly (habitual action).
- Expressing ideas, opinions, approvals by using stative verbs, namely verbs
that cannot be formed continuously (verb+ing). Such as: think, believe,
understand, etc.
- Describes everything that is permanent. Such as a place to live, work, ability,
etc.

The simple present tense formula is as follows:

What needs to be considered in the simple present tense formula is a change in the
verb due to being juxtaposed with the subject. The changes are as follows:
🡺 If the subject in the sentence is the first person singular, the second singular,
and the third plural (I, You, We, They), then there is no change in the verb.
🡺 If the subject in the sentence is the third person singular (She, He, It), then
there is a change in the verb by adding -s/-es.

🡺 Generally, the root form of the verb is added -s. Example: read – reads, sit –
sits, stand – stands, run-runs, rise – rises.
🡺 Verbs ending in O, CH, SH, SS, X, or Z, add -es. Example: do – does, kiss –
kisses – watch – watches, fix – fixes, wash – washed
🡺 Verbs that end in Y, replace the letter 'y' with 'i' then add -es. Example: study
– studies, try – tries, fry – fries, cry – cries, worry – worries
🡺 Some verbs that end in Y, only add -s. Example: say – says, play – plays, buy
– buys, enjoy – enjoys
