The Present Simple Tense

The present simple tense is used to describe habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements. Here's how to form it:

  • I/You/We/They + verb (base form)
  • He/She/It + verb + -s (or -es)

Examples:

  • I play tennis every weekend.
  • She works in a bank.
  • The Earth revolves around the Sun.

For negative sentences, use 'do not' (don't) or 'does not' (doesn't) before the main verb.

For questions, start with 'do' or 'does' followed by the subject and the main verb.
