Present simple

Remember : - We add " s " or "es" at the end of the verb only when we use the 3rd person singular. He, she, it + verb ( without to ) + sHe, she, it + verb ( without to, ending in sh or ch ) + esExample : She always wakes up at 7 a.m to prepare herself for school.

- We keep the verb as it is for the other subjects.

I, you, we, they + verb (without to)

Example : They play football every day.

Negative form : subject pronoun + " do not " or " don't " + verb (without to)

I, you, he, she, it, we, they + do not / don't + verb (without to)

Interrogative form : " do " or " does " before the subject except for " to be " and the auxiliaries.

Do + I, you, we, they + verb (without to) + ... ?

Does + she, he, it + verb (without to) + ... ?

Example : Does your daughter live in London ?

To be:

Am + I + ... ?

Is + he, she, it + ... ?

Are + you, we they + ... ?

Example : Are you satisfied now ?
