Let´s try ! Simple Present (EXPLANATION- FORM)

The forms of the simple present
The affirmative form of the simple present:
I, you, we, they | play. |

Remember the verbs in the third person singular (he,she and it) always take an "s". For example, "he plays, she sings,it works..."
Examples:
- Nancy and James speak good German.
- Nancy works in a restaurant downtown.
- The children play in the garden every weekend.
The interrogative form of the simple present:
Do | I, you, we, they | play? |
Does | he, she, it |
Examples:
- Do you speak good German?
- Does Nancy work in a restaurant downtown?
The negative form of the simple present:
I, you, we,they | do not | play. |
don't |
He, she, it | does not |

Examples:
- No, I don't speak German.

Things to remember about the simple present:
1.In the interrogative forms, we use "do" or "does".
- "Do you like the house?"
- "Does she go to school?"
2; Verbs never take an "s" in the the negative and interrogative forms.
- "Does he speak German?"
- "Do they play soccer?"
- She doesn't like ice cream.
