Introduction – Simple Present
1. Forming the simple present tense

There are only two basic forms for the simple present tense:
- one ends with -s and the other doesn't.
Subject Verb Form Example

I simple form I sing
You simple form You sing
He simple form + S He sings
She simple form + S She sings
It simple form + S It sings
We simple form We sing
You simple for You sing
They simple form They sing
In other words, only THIRD PERSON SINGULAR subjects (he, she and it) have to have a verb with -S.
10
-s or -es ?
With most verbs, the third person singular form is created simply by adding -s. However, with some verbs, you
need to add -es or change the ending a little.
Verb ending in... How to make the 3rd person singular Example
ss Add -es He passes
sh Add -es She wishes
ch Add -es He watches
o/x Add –es He watches
consonant + y Change y to i, then add -es It flies
[anything else] Add -s He sings
SIMPLE PRESENT: NEGATIVES AND QUESTIONS

In the simple present tense, negative forms and question forms are made using the auxiliary verb “do”.
1. Forming a negative
Negatives in the simple present are formed by adding don't or doesn't before the simple form of the verb:
Subject Auxiliary Example

I don't I don't sing
You don't You don't sing
He doesn't He doesn't sing
She doesn't She doesn't sing
It doesn't It doesn't sing
You don’t You don’t sing
We don't We don't sing
They don't They don't sing
In other words, only third person singular subjects (he, she and it) have doesn't — the rest have don't.
2. Forming a yes/no question

Yes/no questions are also created using the auxiliary do. This time, the auxiliary is placed before the subject.
11
Auxiliary Subject Example

Do I Do I sing?
Do you Do you sing?
Does he Does he sing?
Does she Does she sing?
Does it Does it sing?
Do we Do we sing?
Do you Do you sing?
Do they Do they sing?
Statement Yes/no question WH- question

I sing Do I sing? What do I sing?
You fight. Do you fight? Why do you fight?
He lives Does he live? Where does he live?
3. Forming a WH- question

WH- questions (using words such as “what”, “when”, and “where”) are also created by putting the auxiliary do
before the subject. Then, you add the WH- word at the beginning.
Wh-Question words
Where Whose
When How long
Why How far
How How often
Who How much
What How many
Which How come
Whom How old
12
She lives in London. Does she live in London? Where does she live?

He didn't play football.
▪ Questions:
Use the auxiliary did (Simple Past of to do).
Did you play football?

▪ Exceptions in Spelling when Adding ‘ed’
Exceptions in spelling when adding ed Example
after a final e only add d love – loved
final consonant after a short, stressed vowel admit – admitted

or l as final consonant after a vowel is doubled travel – travelled
final y after a consonant becomes i hurry – hurried
There can also be some irregular verbs following a similar pattern:
Base Form Past Simple Past Participle

Burn Burnt/Burned Burnt/Burned
Clap Clapped/Clapt Clapped/Clapt
Dream Dreamt/Dreamed Dreamt/Dreamed
Kneel Knelt/Kneeled Knelt/Kneeled
14
Lean Leant/Leaned Leant/Leaned

Leap Leapt/Leaped Leapt/Leaped
Smell Smelt/Smelled Smelt/Smelled
Spell Spelt/Spelled Spelt/Spelled
Spill Spilt/Spilled Spilt/Spilled
Spoil Spoilt/Spoiled Spoilt/Spoiled
Strip Stript/Stripped Stript/Stripped
Sunburn Sunburned/Sunburnt Sunburned/Sunburnt
Sweep Swept/Sweeped Swept/Sweeped
Vex Vext/Vexed Vext/Vexed
When the verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, you have to double the last consonant and then add "ed"
to make the Past Simple.
If you have a verb with more than one syllable, you only double the consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
In British English the final "l" is doubled, even if the last syllable is not stressed.
If the last letter is "x", you do not double it because an "x" is in fact two consonant "ks".
If the last letter is "c", you write "ck" instead of "cc".
Of course these rules only apply to regular verbs.
If the verb ends with an e that isn’t pronounced (as in bake or smile), then you need to drop this final -ebefore
adding -ed and -ing:
verb past tense
bake baked
smile smiled
If the verb ends with a vowel plus -l (as in travel or equal), then you need to double the l before adding -ed and -
ing in British English:
verb past tense
travel travelled
distil distilled
equal equalled
*This rule doesn’t apply in American English.
15
If the verb ends with a single vowel plus a consonant, and the stress is at the end of the word (e.g. refer), then you
need to double the final consonant before adding -ed and –ing:
verb past tense
admit admitted
commit committed
refer referred
If the verb ends with a vowel plus a consonant and the stress is not at the end of the word, you don’t need to
double the final consonant when adding -ed and -ing:
verb past tense
inherit inherited
target targeted
visit visited
If the verb has only one syllable and ends with a single vowel plus a consonant (e.g. stop), then you need to double
the final consonant before adding -ed and -ing:
verb past tense
stop stopped
tap tapped
sob sobbed
If the verb ends with two vowels plus a consonant, you should generally not double the final consonant:
verb past tense
treat treated
wheel wheeled
pour poured
If the verb ends in -c (e.g. panic), you need to add a -k before adding -ed and -ing, and also -er.
verb past tense
16
picnic picnicked
mimic mimicked
traffic trafficked
don't double if the verb finishes with an "x" or "w"

to fix - fixed
to mix - mixed
to endow - endowed
to bow - bowed
*exceptions (stress not on the last syllable, but double anyway)

to worship - worshipped
to kidnap - kidnapped
PLURALS
Regular Plurals
For most nouns, the general rule for making the word plural is:
. If the word ends in s, x, ch or sh, add an "es" Bless + es = blesses

Box + es = boxes catch + es = catches Dish + es = dishes
. If the word ends in a consonant (all letters except a, e, i, o, u) + y, then change the "y" to an "i" and ad the letters
"es"
Baby = Babies Candy = candies
. For all other non-irregular nouns, simply add an "s" to the end of the word
Cat = cats Dog = dogs Kid = kids
