FOR TODAY CLASS...NABILAH,AMIRA WAS PRESENTED THEIR TASK WHICH IS SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE...IN THIS POST I WANT TO SHARE WITH U ALL ABOUT THAT.

Simple Present Tense

subject	+	auxiliary verb	+	main verb
		do		base

There are three important exceptions:

1.    For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.

2.   For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb or es to the auxiliary.

3.    For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.

subject	auxiliary verb		main verb
+	I, you, we, they			like	coffee.
	He, she, it			likes	coffee.
-	I, you, we, they	do	not	like	coffee.
	He, she, it	does	not	like	coffee.
?	Do	I, you, we, they		like	coffee?
	Does	he, she, it		like	coffee?

We use the simple present tense when:

• the action is general
• the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future
• the action is not only happening now
• the statement is always true
