AFFIRMATIVE

We use the Simple Present to talk about ROUTINES or FACTS (in the present)

Example of my daily routine:

I wake up at 5 in the morning every day.

I brush my teeth every day.

I work from 8 in the morning to 9 in the evening.

I have lunch at midday.

I go to the dentist twice a month.

I don’t take a shower every day.

I always watch movies on Netflix.

Example of facts of my life:

I have three cats.

My body is delicious.

I don’t have a lot of money.

People call me “Sexy Teacher”

I am 25 years old.

I can speak English.

I’m not Chinese.

I am a translator.

I am a vegetarian.

AFFIRMATIVE:

I dance Tango

You dance Tango For the affirmative form, we only conjugate the verbs
when we talk about he, she or it. Normally we just
He dances Tango add an S to the verbs when we conjugate them.
She dances Tango When we talk about I, YOU, WE, YOU or THEY, the
verb doesn’t change. Look at the example on the left.
It dances tango

We dance Tango

You dance Tango

They dance tango

AFFIRMATIVE
I kiss very well

You kiss very well

He kisses very well

She kisses very well

It kisses very well For the affirmative form, we only conjugate the verbs
when we talk about he, she or it. When we talk about
We kiss very well I, YOU, WE, YOU or THEY, the verb doesn’t change.
If the verb ends in o, s, x or h, we should add ES to
You kiss very well it. Look at the example on the left.
They kiss very well
AFFIRMATIVE
I play I study

You play You study For the affirmative form, we only

conjugate the verbs when we
He plays He studies talk about he, she or it. When we
She plays She studies talk about I, YOU, WE, YOU or
THEY, the verb doesn’t change.
It plays It studies If the verb ends in Y but the letter
before Y is a consonant, we
We play We study must remove the Y and add IES.
If It is a vowel we just add an S.
You play You study

They play They study

We also use the verb to be for the affirmative form, but the conjugation is different. This
is the conjugation. We normally use the verb to be to talk about facts in the present:
I am a person.

You are a person.

He is a person.

She is a person.

It is a person.

We are people.

You are people.

They are people.

INTERROGATIVE:
For the interrogative form, we never conjugate the verbs. We should only remember to add an auxiliary before
the person. The possible auxiliaries in the Simple Present are is, are, am, do or does.

We use DO before I, YOU, WE, YOU and THEY

We use DOES before HE, SHE and IT

We use IS before HE, SHE and IT

We use AM before I

We use ARE before YOU, WE, YOU and THEY

REMEMBER! WE DO NOT CONJUGATE THE VERBS IN THE INTERROGATIVE FORM:

INTERROGATIVE:

Do I drink vodka ? Do I study English ? Do I cry every day ?

Do you drink vodka ? Do you study English ? Do you cry every day ?

Does he drink vodka ? Does he study English ? Does he cry every day ?

Does she drink vodka ? Does she study English ? Does she cry every day ?

Does it drink vodka ? Does it study English ? Does it cry every day ?

Do we drink vodka ? Do we study English ? Do we cry every day ?

Do you drink vodka ? Do you study English ? Do you cry every day ?

Do they drink vodka ? Do they study English ? Do they cry every day ?
We also use the verb to be for the interrogative form, but we don’t use DO or DOES. We
use IS, ARE or AM before the person in the questions. We normally use the verb to be
to ask about facts in the present:

Am I sexy ?

Are you sexy ?

Is he sexy ?

Is she sexy ?

Is it sexy ?

Are we sexy ?

Are you sexy ?

Are they sexy ?

NEGATIVE:
For the NEGATIVE form, we never conjugate the verbs. We should only remember to use DON’T or DOESN’T
after the subject.

We use DON’T after I, YOU, WE, YOU and THEY

We use DOESN’T after HE, SHE and IT

REMEMBER! WE DO NOT CONJUGATE THE VERBS IN THE NEGATIVE FORM:

INTERROGATIVE:

I don’t eat eggs. I don’t stay at hotels I don’t wash my hair

You don’t eat eggs. You don’t stay at hotels You don’t wash your hair

He doesn’t eat eggs. He doesn’t stay at hotels He doesn’t wash his hair

She doesn’t eat eggs. She doesn’t stay at hotels She doesn’t wash her hair

It doesn’t eat eggs. It doesn’t stay at hotels It doesn’t wash its hair

We don’t eat eggs. We don’t stay at hotels We don’t wash our hair

You don’t eat eggs. You don’t stay at hotels You don’t wash your hair

They don’t eat eggs. They don’t stay at hotels They don’t wash their hair

We also use the verb to be for the negative form, but we don’t use DON’T or DOESN’T.
We use ISN’T, AREN’T or AM NOT before the person in the questions. We normally use
the verb to be to talk about facts in the negative in the present:

I’m not Chinese.

You aren’t Chinese.

He isn’t Chinese.

She isn’t Chinese.

It isn’t Chinese.

We aren’t Chinese.

You aren’t Chinese.

They aren’t Chinese.
