SIMPLE PRESENT

Usamos o “SimplePresent” para dizer que alguma coisa acontece em determinado tempo, ourepetidamente, quando é
alguma verdade, ou ainda, para contar histórias. É importante lembrar que a ação pode ou não acontecer no
momento da fala. Exemplos:

The earth goes round the sun.

My husband wakes up at 5:30 am.

Water boils at 100º Celsius.

I work for MGM Studios.

Também usamos o “SimplePresent” para falar com qual frequência fazemos algo. Exemplo:

I wake up at 8:00 every morning.

Hanna always looks happy.

Jonathan usually comes later.

Em geral acrescenta-se “s” ao final do verbo quando acompanhados das 3º pessoas do singular (HE, SHE, IT). Exemplo:

speak = speaks = _______________cook = cooks = ________________ live = lives = __________________eat = eats

work = works = ________________make = makes = ______________ read = reads = ________________write = writes
PORÉM EXISTEM ALGUMAS REGRAS:
Quando o verbo termina em consoante + y, você troca o “y” por “i” e acrescenta “es”. Exemplo:
study = studies = ___________________cry = cries = ______________________ apply = applies
fly = flies = _______________________ try = tries = _______________________reply = replies
Quando o verbo termina em vogal + y, o “y” permanece e acrescenta-se “s” no final.Exemplo:

enjoy = enjoys = __________________buy = buys = _____________________ say = says

play = plays = ____________________ destroy = destroys = _______________pray = prays
Quando o verbo termina em “o, s, ss, sh, ch, x”, acrescenta-se “es”.Exemplo:
cross = crosses = _______________dismiss = dismisses = ______________ fix = fixes=_____________teach = teaches
go = goes = _________________do = does = ________________ brush = brushes = ___________wash = washes

NEGATIVE SENTECES
Para formar frases negativas, iremos precisar dos auxiliares “DO” e “DOES”. As partículas chamadas de auxiliares não
têm tradução.Elas servem apenas para nos auxiliar na formação de estruturas negativas e interrogativas. Exemplo:
I don’t live in Orlando.
Bárbara and Ken do not have children.
Andrew does not work in Canada.
Alice doesn’t get home early.

Você pode também usar a forma contraída de DO + NOT = DON’T. E para as 3º pessoas do singular DOES + NOT =
DOESN’T.Mas,lembre-se que isso é permitido apenas em situações mais informais, como bilhetes,mensagens a
amigos, etc.Lembre-se que para formar frases negativas e interrogativas em Inglês nas 3º pessoas do singular (SHE, HE
e IT) você sempre vai utilizar DOES. (e o verbo volta para a forma do infinitivo sem o “to”).

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES
Para fazer perguntas colocamos os auxiliares antes do sujeito, e após ele colocamos o verboprincipal. Exemplo:
Does Nina like soccer?
Do you speak English?
Where do they live?
How often does Alison cook in her home?
Does the cat play with the ball?
