Present Simple

Uses

We use the Present Simple to talk about:

  • activities that we repeat regularly (routines, habits):

     She watches soap operas.
     I study at school.

  • and states:

     We have no money but we're happy.
     I live in Kyiv.

    Form

    In statements we add -s or -es to verbs in the third person singular (ending -y changes to -ies: I carry; He carries). In questions and negative sentences we use the auxiliary do or does.

     I / you / we / they watch / don't watch soap operas.
     He / she watches / doesn't watch soap operas.
     It rains / doesn't rain a lot in November.
     Do I / you / we / they watch soap operas?
     Does he / she / it eat a lot?
