THE PRESENT SIMPLE
We use THE PRESENT SIMPLE to express our daily routines:*I get up at half past seven.
*You go to school by car.
*He watches TV with his friends.
*They always do their homework.
AFFIRMATIVE
SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENTS
My friends use computers at school.
If the subject is the 3rd singular person, you HAVE TO ADD to the verb -S or -ES
USE -ES when the verb ends:
*-X..............mix + es = mixes
*-SS............kiss + es = kisses
*-SH...........push + es = pushes
*-CH..........watch + es = watches
*-O............do + es = does
*cons.Y.......study + es = studIES USE -S with the rest of the verbs.
My friend useS computers at school.
My friend watchES TV at school.
NEGATIVE
If we make a negative sentence, we HAVE TO USE the auxiliary verb TO DO and change the verb into the INFINITIVE.
SUBJECT + DO / DOES + NOT + VERB INFINITIVE + COMPLEMENTS
(DON'T/DOESN'T)
My friends don't use computers at school
My friend doesn't watch TV at school
INTERROGATIVE
If we make an interrogative sentence, we HAVE TO USE the auxiliary verb TO DO and change the verb into the INFINITIVE, the auxiliary verb MUST be the FIRST WORD, or if the sentence has got a WH- question, it mus be after the wh-question.
