SIMPLE PRESENT FORM

Form of the Simple Present

We use the infinitive of the verb. In the 3rd person Singular (he, she, it - or a name) we put an -s at the end of the infinitive.


infinitive - 3rd person Singular (he, she, it) infinitive + -s
Affirmative sentences:


I/we/you/they play football.

NOTE: he, she, it - Do not forget the -s.
Negative sentences:


We use the auxiliary do.
I/we/you/they do not play football.

NOTE: We often use short forms in negative sentences in the Simple Present:
