The Present Simple
When I use
I use the present simple to express something is happening now or that an action happens repeatedly.
All the verbs obey this structure, except the verb to be.
The rules:
Example: They work here for three years.
Example: He works here for three years.
Exceptions:
|
Verbs ended in “s, ss, sh, ch, x, o”, we add ES. |
Verbs ended in “y” preceded by a consonant, we remove the “y” and add IES |
Verbs ended in “y” preceded by a vowel, we follow the general rule |
|

He tries to be a good son. |
He says he is a good student.
