4. Simple present Tense

We use the Simple Present Tense to talk about:

4.1. Simple present: Affirmative

We form the simple present using a name (or a personal pronoun) and the infinitive of the verb (without TO).

example: They(the elephants) walk in the jungle.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we add an S to the verb.

example: It ( the bird) sings very well.

AFFIRMATIVE FORM

Singular	It	runs
Plural	They	run

4.2. Simple present: Negative

We form negative of the simple present using the auxiliary verb do and the negative not (don't) between the subject and the verb .

example: They (elephants) don't live in the desert.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we use does not ( doesn't ) and the verb ( without S).

example: It (the snake) doesn't fly in the sky.

NEGATIVE FORM

Singular

	It	doesn't	eat bananas
Plural	They
		don't	eat bananas

4.3. Simple present: Interrogative

We form the interrogative of the simple present tense using the auxiliary verb do before the subject and adding a question mark ( ? ) at the end of the question.

example: Do they eat other animals?

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we use does before the subject and the verb ( without S).

example: Does it eat plants?
