Today,we will learns about present tense =)
Firstly,SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE..
The simple present tense is used to discuss permanant situations and the frequency of events.How do we make the Simple Present Tense?
subject + auxiliary verb + main verb
do base
There are three important exceptions:- For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.
- For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb or es to the auxiliary.
- For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.
