PRESENT SIMPLE



Rules for 3rd person in present simple:

Normally in the present tense we add "S" to the end of the verb in the 3rd person (He, She, It).
Verb3rd Person
SpeakSpeaks
PlayPlays
GiveGives
MakeMakes
  • He speaks three languages.
  • She drinks coffee every morning.
  • My dog hates my cat.

Irregular Verbs

Irregular verbs in English in the present tense follow very simple rules. The only change that is made to these verbs is in the third person – for He, She or It.
1. If the verb ends in SSXCHSH or the letter O, we add + ES in the third person.
Verb3rd Person
KissKisses
FixFixes
WatchWatches
CrashCrashes
GoGoes
  • A mechanic fixes cars.
  • She watches soap operas every afternoon.
  • He kisses his wife before he goes to work.

2. If the verb ends in a Consonant + Y, we remove the Y and + IES in the third person.
Verb3rd Person
CarryCarries
HurryHurries
StudyStudies
DenyDenies
  • Isabel studies every night.
  • The baby cries all the time.
  • He denies all responsibility.

Negative Sentence

To form the negative we use the auxiliary do not. Again, the only variation occurs in the 3rd person where we usedoes not.

PositiveNegative
I talkI do not talk
She talksShe does not talk
You sleepYou do not sleep
He sleepsHe does not sleep
Carol studiesCarol does not study
We studyWe do not study

In the negative, the main verb is always in the bare infinitive (without TO). It doesn't change for the third person. We don't put an S on the end of the verb in the negative form. In the examples above - talk, sleep and study do not change in the 3rd person.
  • He speaks Italian
    He doesn't speak Italian.
