What to Focus On

  • Used for habitual actions
  • Used for universal truths
  • Used for characteristics or permanent states

  • I/You/We/They + base verb (e.g., play, eat)
  • He/She/It + base verb + s/es (e.g., plays, teaches)
  • Verbs ending in -ch, -sh, -s, -x, -z → add -es (e.g., watches, fixes)

  • I/You/We/They → do not (don't) + base verb
  • He/She/It → does not (doesn't) + base verb
  • The main verb does not take -s or -es after 'doesn't'

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We always add 's' or 'es' to the verb in simple present tense, no matter the subject.

The verb form is the same in both affirmative and negative sentences in simple present tense.

All questions in simple present tense start with 'Do' regardless of the subject.

Memory Tips

When to use simple present tense: habits, universal truths, characteristics, and current states.

Third person singular takes -s or -es (he goes, she teaches).

I/We/You/They use base verb (e.g., go, play).

Negative form: do not / does not.
